This national monument was built in 1650. Because no house numbers existed at that time, every house had a name. The name of the house was “het spaerpot”. Later changed to \u201cThe Good Shepherd\u201d, reason and date are unknown. In 1845 the house was inhabited by a banking family who renamed the house \u201cde Spaerpot\u201d.(Piggy Bank)<\/p>\n

Because our decimal currency unit was introduced in 1816, in which the guilder was divided into 100 cents, we have named our rooms after this.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
