De Krakeling, Keistraat, 17th-century Rijksmonument house in Utrecht, Netherlands.
The residence features a red door adorned with a palm tree motif, decorated doorposts, and a golden crown above the window.
Nobleman Everard Meyster constructed this house in 1663 after organizing the transport of a large boulder from De Stompert to Amersfoort.
The building received its name from the traditional Dutch twisted pastries that Meyster distributed during the boulder transportation celebration.
The structure maintains its original architectural elements at the intersection of Keistraat and Achter Sint Pieter in central Utrecht.
The doorbell mechanism incorporates the shape of a krakeling pastry, while Latin inscriptions on the facades reference biblical and classical texts.
