Trompenburgh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trompenburgh is a 17th century house in 's-Graveland, North Holland, Netherlands, built for Admiral Maarten Tromp, one of the naval heroes of the Dutch Republic. The house is almost entirely surrounded by water and was built to resemble a ship, even with decks and railings.
The original house dates back to 1654. In 1672, it was destroyed by the French but was rebuilt in 1675-1684 by Maarten Tromp's son, Admiral Cornelis Tromp.
The building is currently being restored.
