Huis de Pinto
This town house with its long standing history boasts tranquility the moment you walk through the door. Perhaps the most prominent moment was when it was occupied by the De Pinto family after which the house is known by. Fleeing conversion to Catholicism the family moved to the Netherlands in order to return to Judaism ending up in this place for better prospects.
The residence now serves as a library, perfect for cooling off in the summer with your laptop or preferred book.
Be sure to check out the ceiling of the hallway and reading room which is one of the most distinguishable features of the building.
