Woodwork and ornament
The hall described has portrait medallions, garlands, a marble chimneypiece and china cabinets. Look at these elements together: how are walls, storage space and decoration made into a single interior? The explanations help you understand the name of the style used.
A resident as a way in
According to the organisation, the presentation focuses on Amelia Andringa de Kempenaer-de Schepper. This gives the house a personal subject alongside the interior. Notice which objects or texts are used to tell this resident’s story.
The garden too
A stinzentuin is also mentioned, with blue anemone and double meadow saxifrage (Haarlems klokkenspel), among others. Plants are seasonal, so do not expect the same sight on every visit. Ask which parts of the house and garden are accessible on the day of your visit.
Before you go
You get your tickets at Terp Hegebeintum. Summer and winter schedules differ; also check for closures of the visitor centre.
