Hoi allemaal, Ik weet niet of jullie nog zijn gaan wandelen tijdens het open monumenten weekend. Ik had niet zoveel tijd, maar wilde natuurlijk per se een paar panden van binnen bekijken. Bijvoorbeeld Huis de Onbeschaamde, waar ik vorig jaar te laat voor de deur stond. Het huis dankt zijn naam aan het jongetje in het timpaan. Jongetje....hij is bijna 2 meter lang! Het verhaal gaat dat drie broers wedden wie het meest schokkende beeld op zijn huis zou zetten, maar het verhaal kent geen afloop en zal vast verzonnen zijn. Toen de jonge koningin Wilhelmina op haar kennismakings tournee de stad Dordrecht aan deed, liet de burgemeester het jongetje een oranje sjaal in zijn handjes houden, zodat de sjaal precies voor zijn ... viel.
Hello everybody out there, remember that I mentioned House the Shameless in Dordrecht last post? I didn't have a great photo, as the streets down town are narrow, but this building can be seen from the other side of the water as there is a 'steiger', a landing place from the water, now a parking lot, over here. Here we can see the small guy (he is actually about 2 yards in highth) a little better.
This house was built between 1650 and 1665. Rumor has it that this house was part of a bet between 3 brothers: who of them dared to build the house that would be the most shocking! But no one knows which other buildings belonged to the bet and neither which building won, so it's probably just a tale. As you can see the little guy is not ashamed at all, to show his private parts. But when the very young Queen Wilhelmina was touring through the Netherlands, at the end of the 19th century, the Mayor of Dordrecht was ashamed of this building, so they gave the little guy an orange sash between his hands, orange being the color and the name of our house of royals. The sash was of course covering what should not be shown in public.
Last weekend the building was open to the public; let's go inside:
Nu het open is voor publiek gaan we natuurlijk even naar binnen.
Standing in the first hall before the swing doors, that prevent the wind blowing in (if they are closed of course), looking at the corridor.
Aan de voorkant van het huis Lodewijk XV elementen. Het huis is in 1993 gerestaureerd door de Vereniging Hendrick de Keyser.
The building was bought by the 'Hendrick de Keyser' foundation, a foundation that restores old buildings to preserve our heritage, in about 1993. After restoration the buildings are let, in this case 'Inaction' office is lodging the building.
Bij de restauratie zijn originele Dordtse kleuren gebruikt. Heftig hè deze?
The building is restored in colors that were originally used in Dordrecht during the last centuries. Quite amazing colors, don't you think?
Louis XV (fil of Marie Antoinette) style dominates in the front of the building.
The ceiling in the front room.
Op deze foto kun je de kleuren goed zien. Ik vond het wel wat hebben.
The doors, also Louis XV style and matching plaster above. Here you can see the colors of the room best. It is a very bold turquoise and a matching darker blueish green.
Ik zou hier wel gelukkig kunnen zijn, lekker ruime trap ook, heerlijk om met je hoepelrok vanaf te zwieren, maar de fiets zou ik vandaag ergens anders gestald hebben.
Room enough to walk down stairs in your crinoline!
Though I would have removed the bike today.
Heerlijk licht, vaak zijn die oude huizen zo donker, niet mijn stijl.
Many older buildings over here are very dark inside, due to the way of decorating, but this house is so light, you can see why; a huge beautiful glass window in the staircase. Yes, I could be happily living here.
Aan de achterkant een heel andere, zakelijke stijl. Die smile panelen vond ik zo grappig.
In fact everybody should be happy here! Look those smile panels in the back office! Smile was the name of the company that rented the building before, if I understood well. This part of the building is decorated in a kind of early 20th century Frank Lloyd Wrightish style, business like. It hosted a bank at that time.
De keuken uit 1757 zit er nog gewoon in. Kom daar nu eens om, om een keuken die langer dan 20 jaar meegaat.
Let vooral ook op de slimme verwijderbare elementen zoals de magnetron.
Also in the back of the house is the kitchen; submitted in 1757 and very cleverly updated with removable elements, like the microwave oven.
De mensen die hier werken lunchen hier iedere dag. We waren het er allemaal over eens dat hier werken een voorrecht is.
People who work here lunch here every day. We all agreed that it is a privilege to work in such a beautiful place.
Normaal gesproken staan hier dus de potjes pindakaas en jam, maar vandaag zit alles in de kast, jammer dat die fiets er niet bij paste.
Usually there is peanut butter and sugar on the table and all kinds of cups hanging around, but for this occasion the cupboards were used. You could store anything in here! Too bad the bike didn't fit in.
Aan de achterkant van het pand bevindt zich de monumentale beuk de oudste boom in Dordrecht. De tuinen van monumenten zijn vaak ook monumenten. Daarover een volgende post.
Behind the building is a garden, which is beautiful too. The oldest tree in Dordrecht, a beech, stands here proudly, knowing he has seen it all and will see it all, long after we have been gone.
The gardens of the monuments are monuments by themselves, but I'll keep them for another post.
Are you tired already?
My hometown has over 1500 monuments, now I won't take you to each and every one, but a few more...? Please?
Zijn jullie al moe? Afhaken kan natuurlijk elk moment, maar ik ga nog even verder:
met de Rozenhof. Een villa dat als woonhuis voor een gezin met 2 kinderen werd gebouwd eind 19de eeuw.
Let's go to Villa Rozenhof (rozen = roses, hof = an old fashioned word for garden). Built at the end of the 19th century as a house to live in for a young couple and their two children. The house was built outside the old town in the newer 19th century part, not too far away from the at that time new railway station, the part that is usually neglected during the monument weekend.
Hier mocht je alleen naar binnen onder begeleiding van een gids. Wat hij vertelde was heel erg interessant, maar het was haast onmogelijk om foto's te maken, omdat het zo druk was.
Admittance was only permitted with a guide, very interesting, but it's almost impossible to make some decent photos as the tour was rather crowded. Which I don't like, but at the same time I think it's very good that there is so much interest in historic buildings.
Hier kijken we in de koepel, op de 2de verdieping.
Inside the dome, on the second floor.
Hier kijken we op het glas vanaf de zolder.
Inside the dome in the attic. Looking down the stained glass.
Alle stijlelementen zijn uit de kamers verwijderd door bedrijven die later in het pand kwamen. Alleen de kamer van de heer des huizes is nog in oorspronkelijke staat.
All style elements were removed from the house by earlier occupants. Only the Master room still had the fireplace and the original paneling. This house was built and decorated in neo classic styles. Which is in short: every thing that is done before combined. At the end of the 19th century a new style evolved:
We eindigen met het Art Nouveau pand waar de Bouman stichting in zit, die verslavingszorg bieden.
Art Nouveau.
Here is the residence of the Bouman GGZ, this is a place were addicted people are helped.
Prachtige tochtdeur met geëtst glas.
The swing door with etched glass.
Hier te rechter zijde is een deurpost smaller gemaakt, zodat er ook een deur in past van de bouwmarkt. Jullie zien zelf wel dat dat helemaal niet mooi is.
The right side of the swing door. If you look to the door closest to you, you can see that the door hole is altered, it's made smaller and a new, totally unfit door was replaced. Look at the original door a little further. But I have to say the condition of this house was good when you think there is an office in it.
It's all about details...
I'll leave you here. I could fill another dozen of posts like this and maybe I will do that, but not now, thanks for joining me on my tour. Hope to see you soon, xoxo LiLi M.
Wat een details overal, schitterend.
Ik wilde het hier nu maar bij laten, kan nog uren doorgaan.
Bedankt voor je bezoek weer, tot ziens xoxo LiLi
