De Vinkenburg


De Vinkenburg

The Vinkenburg in Bredevoort in the Dutch province of Gelderland is a home of a textile manufacturer, built in 1905 and also a municipal monument. History

The house was built in the so-called um 1800 building style commissioned by August Sevink. He was a son of Herman Albert Sevink from Warnsveld, and Catherina Poulina van Eijck, daughter of textile manufacturer Van Eijck. This makes the house a visible part of Bredevoort's social economic textile history. The front of the house has striking windows that can be opened with a pulley system. It was impossible to hang out of the window like "ordinary houses", which was found to be normal. Also available is the original bell system that could be used to call for service. Above the entrance of the house is the stained glass in Rotterdam, which refers to the Rotterdam roots of Henriette van der Meulen, who married August Sevink in 1915. Piet and Fenny de Heus became the owner of the property in 2004, and have almost completely restored the old-fashioned property, including the wallpaper, and won the monument award for the municipality of Aalten in 2008.
