Huis met de Kogel, 16th-century wooden house in Alkmaar, Netherlands.

The structure features wooden facades with overhanging floors supported by consoles, displaying traditional Dutch architectural elements from floor to ceiling.

During the 1573 Siege of Alkmaar, a Spanish cannonball reportedly struck this house, leading to the placement of a commemorative cannonball on its facade.

This Rijksmonument represents one of only two remaining wooden houses in Alkmaar, demonstrating traditional Dutch residential construction methods.

The ground floor contains retail space with a central door and shop windows, while upper levels maintain residential window configurations.

The building's tapered design, narrower at the bottom than the top, reduced historical property taxes by minimizing the ground footprint.
