About
Korte feiten: Wander through repurposed guest rooms that now hide tiny galleries, independent cafés, and rehearsal spaces under a single roof. Polished wood floors creak and original tile mosaics catch stray sunlight, giving every hallway a cinematic, lived-in feel.
Hoogtepunten: Step into a preserved writer's nook where a battered typewriter rests on a narrow desk and the window frames a street scene like a living postcard. When dusk falls the courtyard transforms, strings of bare bulbs illuminate roughly 40 folding chairs and espresso steam mixes with spoken words during intimate poetry nights.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the complex spans several floors and historic staircases.
- Head to the rooftop half an hour before sunset for the best city views and photos.
- Reserve tickets online for evening performances to avoid sold-out shows on weekends.
- Take a break in the literary café and bring cash, some small vendors may not accept cards.
