Czar Peter House, Wooden residence in Zaandam, Netherlands
The Czar Peter House stands as a preserved two-story wooden structure protected by a stone shell built in 1895 to safeguard its original architecture.
Russian Tsar Peter I stayed in this residence for eight days in 1697 while studying Dutch shipbuilding methods under the name Peter Michaeloff.
The residence represents the industrial connection between Russia and the Netherlands during the late seventeenth century when Dutch expertise influenced Russian development.
The house functions as part of the Zaans Museum, opening Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM with admission fees ranging from 3 to 6 euros.
King Willem I purchased this house in 1818 as a gift for his Russian daughter-in-law Anna Pavlovna to commemorate the birth of her son.
