The Angel

The Angel is a protected architectural complex in Lisse featuring buildings that display traditional Dutch construction methods from different periods. The ensemble comprises several connected structures that together form a residential grouping with consistent design elements.

The complex received protection as a Rijksmonument to preserve its architectural importance and contribution to the region's building heritage. The structures document how construction and residential techniques developed in rural Lisse over time.

The place serves as a gathering point where visitors can see how traditional Dutch architecture shaped the daily rhythms of this community. The buildings reflect the values and construction practices that have defined Lisse for centuries.

The site is easily accessible by foot or car from the main roads through Lisse and has parking available nearby. It helps to visit during quieter daytime hours when you can better observe the architectural details and the layout of the complex.

Some buildings display side by side different construction periods and style elements that are usually studied separately. This makes the place a kind of open textbook for understanding how Dutch residential building evolved.
