Camminghahuis, Franeker, Medieval fortified house in Franeker, Netherlands
The Camminghahuis consists of two connected sections with slate gabled roofs, featuring distinctive monastery windows and thick defensive walls at Voorstraat 2.
Built between 1450 and 1550, the structure incorporates parts of an earlier stins belonging to the Sjaerda family, with five shooting holes found in its eastern facade.
The building transitioned from a noble residence to an inn named De Valk, later housing the Fries Mint and Coin Cabinet collection from 1972 to 1995.
The structure now operates as a bakery and chocolate shop, maintaining regular business hours in the center of Franeker's historic district.
The eastern wall contains preserved shooting slots and a high-placed access door from the original defensive structure, revealing its military architecture origins.
