This very fine building in Gelderland architecture dates back to the 15th century. It actually is a complex of more then one building now-a-days as in the 1800's the "Schepenen"-house (a schepen was a city-official and seconds to the mayor of the city) and the old winehouse nextdoor. The old red-brown bricks are typical for the region that knows the art of "baking stones" already several millenia. The river provided the necessary clay, that has shown of amazing good quality.
