Nescio Huis

The writer Frits Grönloh, known as "Nescio," lived in this building between 1926 and 1940. He wrote "Insula dei" (Insula of God) during the German occupation. His wartime letters were also published after the war.

The Luftgaukommando Holland confiscated the building during World War II.
