Trippenhuis, Neoclassical mansion on Kloveniersburgwal canal, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The Trippenhuis presents a seven-window-wide facade featuring carved stone ornaments, statues, and decorative elements referencing the weapons trade of its original owners.

Built in 1662 by architect Justus Vingboons, the Trippenhuis served as residence for brothers Louys and Hendrick Trip, successful merchants during the Dutch Golden Age.

The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences maintains its headquarters in the Trippenhuis since 1887, organizing scientific conferences and research presentations.

Visitors can observe the exterior architecture and weaponry-inspired details while walking along the Kloveniersburgwal canal, between 9:00 and 17:00 on weekdays.

The building contained Rembrandt's famous painting The Night Watch from 1817 to 1885 before its transfer to the current Rijksmuseum location.
