The Duitse Huis (English: Teutonic House) is a complex of buildings in the city of Utrecht, Netherlands, protected as a national monument.

Some of the older buildings are again the headquarters of the Bailiwick of Utrecht, now a charity, and hold an important collection of medieval manuscripts, coins and pictures.

It was mainly active in the Holy Land and the Baltic region, but had many branches in the west to provide sources of funds and of recruits.

The order held agricultural lands, called commanderies, in different areas of the Netherlands,[2] The knights and priests had taken the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.

[5] A meeting of the chapter of the order of the Golden Fleece began on 2 January 1546, attended by Charles V and his sister Mary of Hungary (governor of the Netherlands).

The land commander in 1579–1612, Jacob Taets van Amerongen, resisted on the basis that the goods "belonged to our Lord the German Master", and that the Bailiwick was a knightly institution that served "where necessary to fight with weapons for the defence of the Empire against our common arch enemy, the Turk..."[8] However, in 1637 the knights formally accepted the protection of the United Provinces of the Netherlands.

[citation needed] From 17th century drawings it appears that the church was a large building, standing high over its surroundings.

[12] The French government planned to convert the complex into a military hospital, and the Teutonic Order had to move to a new building on the canal.

[citation needed] After the fall of Napoleon and the restoration of the House of Orange, on 8 August 1815 the Bailiwick was revived by royal decree of William I of the Netherlands.

[citation needed] During the reign of King William I a very modern hospital building (for the time) was built on the property along the Geertebolwerk.

[4] When the military hospital became vacant in the late 1980s the Bailiwick of Utrecht was able to repurchase the property due to an agreement dating back to 1808.

[14] The Teutonic Order in the Netherlands converted to Calvinism in time, so they were able to preserve their property, including archival records dating back to the start of the 13th century.

There are traces of the past history of the complex including objects, photographs and historical drawings displayed in locations throughout the hotel.
