Besiendershuis, Gothic residence in Nijmegen, Netherlands.
The Besiendershuis features late Gothic architecture with stepped gables, profiled water tables, and windows with cross frames set within round-arched niches.
Built in 1525, this structure served as the workplace of the besiender, an official responsible for controlling cargo and calculating toll payments from vessels on the Waal River.
The building represents typical residential architecture from the Lower Rhine region during the Renaissance period, displaying characteristics of medieval urban development.
Located at Steenstraat 26-28 in Nijmegen, the Besiendershuis now functions as an artist residence, offering two-month stays for creative projects about the city.
The restoration work between 1941 and 1944 preserved the original Gothic elements of the structure, maintaining its status as a protected national monument.
