Read moreThe Golden House or Speymannhaus was built in the early 17th century by architect Abraham Van Den Blocke for a wealthy Hanse merchant. The façade of this beautiful house attracts attention with its rich ornamentation. It features twelve friezes created between 1609 and 1618, separated at each cornice by four busts, including those of Polish kings Ladislas Jagellon and Sigismund III Vasa. At the top, the balustrade is surmounted by statues of ancient figures: Cleopatra, Oedipus, Achilles and Antigone.
