Comment on Mozes En Aäronkerk by Exploring Leiden by Walking the Leiden Loop

Exploring Leiden by Walking the Leiden Loop — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 19:54:53 +0000

[…] As you can see from the picture above, Hartebrugkerk is pretty unusual-looking for a place of worship and there a good explanation for that. Back in the early 1800s the churches had very little money, so the state sought out reliable experts and decided engineers from the Water Authority were best qualified to carry out the construction. It’s been nearly 200 years and the church is still standing, so the Water Authority “experts” certainly did a good job, but as far as churches go, Hartebrugkerk is . . . a little different, but it isn’t unique. Water Authority style churches can be found in a number of other Dutch cities, including Amsterdam. […]

Comment on Rembrandt House Museum by Jan Miorelli

I’m curious about the fundraising effort in 1972 or ‘74 selling 300 red tiles called “Saskia Tiles” discovered in the cellar of Rembrandt’s house on Jodenbreestraat for $100 each. I found an issue of the Holland Herald magazine (Volume 9 Number 7) in my childhood Pan Am travel files. It was part of “an all-out campaign to raise cash for restoration work”. The house was in danger of falling down from heavy traffic on the street & the neighboring building was being demolished for an office block. Selling the tiles was the first step in fundraising along with symbolically selling 30 new wooden pilings at $2,000 each (donors were supposed to be marked by a plaque outside the building). The Chairman for the foundation, K.G. Boon is the final quote of the article “If the building isn’t provided with new foundations before demolition work starts on the adjacent building, it could easily cave in. Even now new cracks appear in the walls daily.” I was only 14 years old at the time and didn’t have $100, but wonder how many sold, if one is on display in the museum (& how much they’re worth today!)

[…] Besides this, our Canals collection will bring an ode to Reguliersgracht. Many of the buildings alongside the canal have decorative gables at the top. The canal house gables come in a variety of styles and give an insight into the history of the building. Triangular gables were used in 15th-century houses. Subsequently, from 1600 onwards, the step and spout gables were introduced. Next came the neck gable, with the baroque style of Louis XIV and also the bell-gable with an asymmetrical Louis XV style. You can read more about the architecture of the gables here. […]
