History

Guest House Swaenenvecht is located in a historic building with the same name and is a national as well as a local monument. The building consists of separate parts that were built during different periods. The front gable on the left has a step-gable from the renaissance period. On the right side the building has a cornice from the 19th century, which is plastered gray.At the top of the facade a plaque can be seen with two fighting swans and the text “Swaenen-Vecht”. The step-gable is decorated with spheres and cover plates. The right side of the house is younger. It dates from the first quarter of the 19th century and has six sliding windows on the side of the Vecht. Later another construction was added on the backside. The interior of the building is very complex. It has exceptionally many different levels and an entresol in the 17th century part.

This building certainly has a rich history. It consists of separate sections, built at different times. For example, the front façade features a left-hand section with a stepped gable dating from the Renaissance, whilst the right-hand side of the building has a cornice façade from the 19th century. There are so many remarkable details that you won’t know where to look first.
