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.

Hessenhuis

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.

What to look for

  • Renaissance era warehouse façades and trading history

Useful to know

  • The warehouse exterior is visible from nearby streets; check the café or event programme for entry.
