Czar Peter House (Netherlands)

The Czar Peter House (Dutch: Czaar Peterhuisje) is a historical building in Zaandam, the Netherlands.

It is best known as the place where Tsar Peter I of Russia resided in 1697 during his Grand Embassy.

The widow was paid to move out, and Peter spent a week as Kist's houseguest.

Peter wanted to learn more about the Dutch shipbuilding industry, and with this knowledge (and other knowledge acquired during the Grand Embassy) begin a period of modernization and growth in Russia.

[2] In 1895, a new stone cover was built over the house to protect it; this was done by the architect Salm, best known for designing the Artis Aquarium in Amsterdam.
