De Moriaan
A 13th-century brick house with a stepped gable on the north side of the market square, considered one of the oldest brick houses in the Netherlands.
De Moriaan is a Gothic brick house with a stepped gable, built in the 13th century. It is considered one of the oldest surviving brick houses in the Netherlands and is said to have once been the residence of the Dukes of Brabant. It was heavily remodeled in the 19th century and restored to its original appearance in the early 20th century. Today the ground floor houses a visitor center (VVV), where you can pick up a city map and book canal boat trips and city tours. The exterior is worth stopping for a photo. A visit is usually combined with the market square and takes only a few minutes.
