Waterkant 2, Paramaribo, Cultural heritage monument in Historic Inner City of Paramaribo, Suriname
The white wooden building stands at the corner of Waterkant Street, featuring traditional colonial architecture with galleries facing the Suriname River.
The residence became part of Paramaribo's expansion in 1683 when Van Sommelsdijck extended the settlement along Waterkant Street from Fort Zeelandia.
The building represents the architectural style that emerged after the 1821 fire, when architect Johan August redesigned the street's structures.
Located at coordinates 5.825389, -55.151889, the monument is accessible from the Onafhankelijkheidsplein and near the Central Market area.
The structure maintains its original residential function while standing as a protected monument within the UNESCO World Heritage district.
