De Oude Turk, Leiden, Protected heritage house in Breestraat, Leiden, Netherlands

The sandstone building features a classical facade with composite capital pilasters and an ornately decorated fronton containing detailed sculptures by Pieter Xavery.

Constructed in 1673 during the Dutch Golden Age, the structure was built for merchants Le Pla from the east under the architectural direction of Willem van der Helm.

The building exhibits Dutch classicism through its architectural elements, including statues of Neptune, Mercury, and a merchant figure representing international commerce.

Located at Breestraat 84 in central Leiden, this national monument underwent modifications around 1900 that altered both the ground floor and first floor sections.

On August 26, 1910, Sigmund Freud and Gustav Mahler conducted their notable psychological consultation while walking past this historical structure.
