- Year built: 1658
- Style of construction: Classicism
- Commissioned by: Willem van Beveren
- Original function: Patrician house
Bever-Schaep House. At number 18 on Korte Engelenburgerkade, a monumental patrician house dominates the street. The 17th-century classicist house is known as Bever-Schaep House, a reference to the descendants of the families who have lived there. The family coat of arms, at the top, features a beaver and a sheep. Above the door are two mermen, happy to see each other again. It was likely built by Martinus van der Pijpen, after whom the Maartens Gat harbor was named. The facade resembles that of the house “De Onbeschaamde” at 14 Wijnstraat, where Van der Pijpen served as contractor during its construction. The architect of “De Onbeschaamde” was master builder Pieter Post.
