About the House of Hainault
Originally House Hainault had a stone facade which was later plastered and framed. The house has a width of four window axes. In the basement there are windows with profiled Tudor arches. These cellars were used for centuries for the wine trade. In the side facade on Gravenstraat, the Gothic entrance with sidewalk and modern balcony can be seen. Huis Hainaut was for many years a second residence for the Counts of Holland, who, by granting privileges, were at the basis of the important position of the oldest city of Holland. A pied-à-terre where people occasionally stayed because of work while they lived elsewhere. Later, a large number of regents lived in Huis Henegouwen. Then, step by step, the slow but clear descent along the social ladder was noticeable. No large-scale renovations have taken place here since the beginning of the twentieth century. Consequently, the building still contains many historically significant detail elements. Today it is home to Galerie Kunst & Vorm.
