Duitse Huis, Medieval monastery in Utrecht, Netherlands

The Duitse Huis complex includes multiple buildings with stone facades, Gothic elements, and a courtyard near the old city wall of Utrecht.

Founded in 1345 as a monastery for the Teutonic Knights, the complex later transformed into a military hospital during the Napoleonic period in 1823.

The building maintains a collection of medieval manuscripts, coins, and paintings that document the history of religious orders in the Netherlands.

Parts of the complex now function as Hotel Karel V, offering 121 rooms, while other sections house charitable organizations and exhibition spaces.

The structure served as temporary residence for squatters during the late 20th century before undergoing extensive restoration in 1992.
