Cuypershuis

The Cuypershuis in Roermond is a unique museum dedicated to the life and work of the famous architect Pierre Cuypers (1827-1921). Known for iconic buildings such as the Rijksmuseum and Amsterdam Central Station, Cuypers’ roots lie in Roermond. In his former home and workshop, you’ll discover how this visionary shaped Dutch architecture.

The museum immerses you in the world of neo-Gothic style, which Cuypers brought to life in his churches, castles, and public buildings. Original drawings, furniture, models, and photographs provide a complete view of his creative process. You’ll see how he combined traditional forms with innovative techniques and how his ideas on design and heritage still influence today.

A special feature of the Cuypershuis is the old workshop, where craftsmen created ornaments, stained glass windows, and sculptures for Cuypers’ projects. Here, you can feel the atmosphere of a 19th-century creative hub. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions on architecture and design.

Not only Cuypers himself is highlighted, but also his network of artists, family members, and patrons. Together, they present the portrait of a man who passionately built the face of the Netherlands.

The building housing the Cuypershuis is a sight in itself. The blend of history and modern museum architecture creates an inspiring experience.

Located in the center of Roermond, the Cuypershuis is perfect to combine with a city walk along other Cuypers creations, such as the St. Christopher Cathedral and the former Carthusian Monastery.

A visit to the Cuypershuis is a journey through Dutch architectural history, art, and craftsmanship – through the eyes of one of its greatest masters.
