Het Houten Huys, Wooden medieval house in Begijnhof, Netherlands.
Het Houten Huys features Gothic timber framing on stone bases, with wooden gable ends at both front and rear of the structure.
Built in 1528, this residential building stands as one of only two remaining houses with wooden facades in Amsterdam following the city's ban on wooden constructions.
The house contains a painted panel from its construction period depicting the Virgin Mary and the Unicorn, reflecting 16th-century religious artistry.
Located at Begijnhof 34 in central Amsterdam, the house maintains its original structure and can be viewed while exploring the surrounding courtyard.
For centuries, this house has exclusively housed single women, starting with the beguines religious community and continuing this tradition to present day.
