Huis met de Kabouters, Gothic Revival house in De Pijp, Netherlands
The Huis met de Kabouters features ornate wooden gables, limestone blocks, and two large green gnome sculptures wearing red hats on its facade.
Built in 1884 by architect Anthonius Cornelis Boerma, this structure represents early development along Ceintuurbaan near the Amsteldijk river in Amsterdam.
The gnome sculptures on the building play with a red ball, possibly referencing the original owner's surname Van Ballegooijen, which translates to ball throwing.
Located at Ceintuurbaan 251-255, the building contains twelve separate apartments, with seven rental units and five owner-occupied residences.
The structure incorporates carved wooden bay windows, sitting angels, and formerly featured eagle sculptures that were removed by firefighters in the 1970s.
