Museum het Cuypershuis, Roermond. Beautifully restored home and workshop of the architect Pierre Cuypers, build in 1853. This was once the drawing room.
Cuypers now is widely recognised for his landmark public buildings in Amsterdam, the Rijksmuseum and the Central Station. They caused on uproar at the time because of their lavish decorations. Faith also played a part. Cuypers came from the Catholic south of the country. People in the protestant north couldn't understand why a catholic got the commission to build a museum and a station. Even architects launched vicious attacks because they feared Cuypers' style would be adapted as the leading one. As a result the Rijksmuseum and the Amsterdam station were his last public buildings.
