Utrecht, Netherlands — Northwestern Europe
Claustraal Huis van Oudemunster / Canon House of the Former Oudmunster Church
Dating from ca 1540, the facade of this medieval house, which was owned by a canon of the now-vanished church of St. Salvator Oudmunster (whose circumference is outlined in the pavement of the Cathedral Square), provides a beautiful example of early Renaissance architecture with sculpture and wall anchors. The masonry is painted in the traditional manner in red with white detailing. The richly-ornamented gable was demolished in the 19th century.
