Groot Tinnenburg, Historic house in Amersfoort, Netherlands.
Groot Tinnenburg is a 15th-century brick residence featuring stepped gables, cross-shaped windows, and Tudor-style architectural elements that exemplify medieval Dutch construction techniques.
Originally constructed as part of Amersfoort's defensive fortifications in the 15th century, the building transitioned from a military structure to a residential property in 1452.
The house represents typical medieval Dutch domestic architecture with its brick construction, gabled roof, and arched window openings that characterized urban residential buildings of the era.
Located on Muurhuizen 25, the building is accessible via the historic center of Amersfoort and is occasionally included in guided heritage walks organized by local cultural organizations.
The structure retains curved masonry elements from its original defensive function, making it one of the few remaining buildings that physically connects residential architecture with medieval fortifications.
