2. Kerkstraat 10 and marker
The marker is (barely) visible here to the left of the entrance, between the two furthest windows.
This beautiful building at Kerkstraat 10 was built in the second half of the 18th century. The house owes its monumentality to the symmetrical construction of the facade, the monumental entrance and the beautiful large windows. The entrance has a beautiful wooden frame with a decorated fanlight. We also call this a carving window. Above you can see beautiful sculpture. This type of decoration with leaves, fruit and/or flowers is called a festoon. The entrance is accessible via the landing that is also part of the monument.(Submitted on April 1, 2025.)
