Hessenhuis
Hessenhuis is a sixteenth century merchants’ warehouse whose long brick and sandstone façades recall Antwerp’s overland trade. It gives an Eilandje walk a tangible connection to earlier commerce.
Why go
Built in 1563–64 for merchants and wagons, the protected Hessenhuis adds a different layer to the port story. Its large free standing structure can be viewed on a walk near Eilandje; the current operator lists café events, but indoor access and any display should be checked for the date of travel.
