Paushuize, Renaissance house in Utrecht, Netherlands

The three-story building features grand proportions with intricate architectural details, high windows, and a central entrance facing the Kromme Nieuwegracht canal.

Built in 1517, Paushuize served as the intended residence for Pope Adrian VI, the only Dutch pope in history, though he never inhabited the property.

The ballroom, added in 1830, contains paintings inspired by the ancient city of Pompeii, reflecting the artistic trends of the nineteenth century.

Guided tours of Paushuize take place on the last Sunday of each month from 11 AM to noon, requiring advance reservations through Eventbrite.

The building ranks as the most sustainable monument in the Netherlands, reducing energy consumption by forty percent through innovative climate control systems.
