- Year built: 1742-1745
- Style of architecture: Louis XIV (list facade) and Louis XV
- Original function: Patrician house
Johan Herman Hallincq, scion of an influential and quite wealthy regent family, had this patrician house built in the eighteenth century. It took him ten years to purchase the amount of land so that he had enough space to realize the property. He did have to have his family home De Groene Weyde demolished to do so. Construction began in 1742 and the building was completed three years later. The building has a Louis XIV-listed facade, is five window axes wide and has a richly ornamented central alcove. The house clearly shows the transition from the Louis XIV to the Louis XV style. This beautiful historic building, once a girls' school, now houses a store, craft workshop and sewing shop. About eighty ladies from all over the world work here on hand-embroidered pillows. Admire, among other things, the impressive 18th-century Louis XIV facade and the unusual stucco ceiling.
