Enter the 17th century! In Huis Bonck in Hoorn you step right into the 17th century. The interior and layout of this cozy merchant's house are still exactly as they were then. People lived and worked in Huis Bonck. The fact that business was going well can be seen from the many decorations: beautiful glazed tiles on the floor and decorative tiles on the wall. The master of the house had his own 'comptoir', in a unique hanging room that literally hangs from the attic beam. With a good view over the Zuiderzee and the quay. You will discover what "top shelf linen is" and you will find the old linen press of the lady of the house, the showpiece of the family! Domestic life took place in the cozy inner room. Cooking at the fireplace, eating at the table, and then sleeping nice and warm in the box bed. In Huis Bonck you really experience how the Bonck family lived here at the time. Feel free to open the cupboards, take a nap in the box bed, or sit in the hanging room and look out over the water. Are you coming over?
