Stichting Herengracht 401, Cultural foundation in Amsterdam canal district, Netherlands
The foundation occupies a monumental building at Herengracht 401, featuring exhibition spaces, a library, and historical archives dating from 1957.
During World War II, artist Gisèle van Waterschoot van der Gracht provided shelter to German-Jewish youth at this location, naming it after a fortress in Haifa.
The foundation maintains three sections: Memory Machine for collective memory studies, Intellectual Playground for artistic research, and House of Gisèle for educational programs.
Visitors can explore the historical residence through guided tours, which present information about the building's architecture and wartime experiences.
The foundation underwent a transformation in 2019, changing its name to Stichting Herengracht 401 and establishing new cultural initiatives focused on contemporary art.
