Houten Huis Oldest House

Historical landmark

👍👍 The house is very unique, gothic architecture with interesting windows placement. This is one of the two wooden houses that survived a series of fires 500 years ago. This building was build approximately in 1425. Amazing to see, but it is a private residence so you can’t go inside. The enclosure cou...

National Slavery Monument

Historical landmark

👍👍 There are still people living and working in slavery, we need to remember that times can shift and not asume that civilization moves forward. We always need to stand up for freedom and fight for human rights. We can do this by looking into history and take lessons from the past. #slavery

Jonatan Frenk Memorial Bench

Historical landmark

👍👍 best bench i’ve ever sat on. Back support on this bench was supreme. Quality of the wood was very good. Three people could easily sit on it but I would say you could push it to 5 because of the sturdiness of the wood. Enjoy!
