The Trip House (Trippenhuis) was built in 1666 for two wealthy brothers Lodewijk and Hendrick Trip. At 22 metres wide, it is the most spacious residence in Amsterdam. The house was designed by Justus (1621-1698), younger brother of the better-known Philip Vingboons. Both were architects of many houses of merchants and VOC administrators.
Brothers in arms
The Trip brother’s made their fortune trading in arms, so the house has chimneys shaped like mortars, canons engraved on the gable and an imposing gunpowder grey exterior. The house was equally shared by the brothers and a bisecting wall can be seen in the middle window.
Mr. Trip’s Coachman
The Trip house is opposite an extremely narrow house with a wonderfully ornate gable. Legend has it that the Trip brothers built it for the coachman after he exclaimed, “Oh my, I would be happy if I had a house that was only as wide as the front door of my master's house.”.
