Lonely Planet review for Gijsbert Dommer Huis

Look closely, ladies and gentlemen, at the facade of this sober residence known locally as the ‘House with the Blood Stains’. As he lost his marbles, six-time mayor and diplomat Coenraad van Beuningen scribbled graffiti here in his own blood, and his unfathomable message – including Hebrew letters and obscure cabal symbols – from the 17th century is still faintly visible. Well-to-do businessman Gijsbert Dommer commissioned this house from 1671, but the mad mayor is better known today.
