Unique Patrician House In Late Louis XVI And Empire Style Between Rotterdam And Antwerp

Pure class and exceptional beauty characterize this patrician house in the historic center of Zierikzee; between Rotterdam and Antwerp. The magnificent façade decorations distinguish the property on Havenpark. The late Louis XVI style and Empire style also define the beautiful rooms of this national monument dating from 1827. Nearly two centuries ago, ladies in hoop skirts would pass through the heavy, wide entrance door to pay a visit to Jonkheer Jan Francois van Vrijberghe. The luxury in which the nobleman received his guests can still be felt today in the high, decorated ceilings, the paneled doors, the marble, the wood carvings, and the parquet floors. The en-suite rooms bear witness to all this elegance and reveal the second chapter of the story of this residence. In the rear room, a raised platform marks the place where judges once presided. From 1867 to 1998 the building was owned by the state and served as a courthouse and magistrates’ court. After that, the building underwent a year-and-a-half renovation to make it suitable as a residence once again. The result is a city palace with immaculate historical richness and a pleasant, deep city garden. Are you impressed by the charm of the nobleman, but do you sometimes find the Empire style in the interior a bit overwhelming? Be sure to come and take a look to discover whether your story fits here, because not all of the interior decorations are protected heritage elements. Feel free to ask the real estate agent for more information.
