De Moriaan

About

De Moriaan in ’s‑Hertogenbosch is one of the oldest brick buildings in the Netherlands and a striking presence on the bustling Markt square. Dating back to the early 13th century, it has served many roles over the centuries, from a trading house to a guildhall, and today stands as a beautifully restored monument that reflects the city’s medieval prosperity. Its stepped gables, narrow façade, and characteristic brickwork make it an architectural treasure that immediately draws the eye. Inside, De Moriaan now functions as the city’s tourist information centre, welcoming visitors with exhibitions, local products, and insights into the history of Den Bosch. The building’s blend of authenticity and modern use creates a warm, accessible atmosphere, allowing guests to experience a piece of living heritage in the heart of the historic city.

Location

De Moriaan is located at Markt 77-79, 5211 CS 's-Hertogenbosch, prominently positioned on the lively main market square in the historic city centre. Dating back to the 13th century, this Gothic brick hall house with its distinctive round turret once served the VVV tourist office and now houses the Stadswinkel information point along with Café P79 in the basement. Right beside Huis van Bosch and steps from St. John’s Cathedral (Sint-Janskathedraal), it sits amid vibrant cafés, shops, and guildhalls, with quick access to the Noordbrabants Museum, Binnendieze canals, and Hinthamerstraat's medieval charm.
