Duivelshuis, Tower house in central Arnhem, Netherlands

The Duivelshuis features three stone satyrs on its facade, which have become key elements of identification for this Renaissance structure in Arnhem.

Duke Charles of Gelre purchased the property in 1518, transforming a simple farmstead into a residence that later became the office of Arnhem's mayors.

Four keystones in the outer wall represent the historical capitals of the duchy: Nijmegen, Roermond, Zutphen, and Arnhem, each with specific attributes.

Visitors can participate in a two-hour self-guided tour using smartphones to solve riddles while exploring the building and surrounding areas.

The Renaissance gable added during renovations by Maarten van Rossem stands as one of the earliest examples of this architectural style in the Netherlands.
