NL Van bron
Het Romerhuis is een goed bewaard gebleven woonhuis met winkel in laat-gotische stijl uit circa 1490 op de hoek van de Kwartelenmarkt en de Wijngaardstraat in de Nederlands Limburgse stad Venlo. Het pand is sinds 20 april 1971 een rijksmonument.

Het is in baksteen uitgevoerd met een trapgevel en kleine siertorentjes; enige uitzondering vormen enkele hoekstenen op de begane grond en de deuromlijsting. Daarnaast zijn er in de achterbouw van het Romerhuis nog sporen van vakwerkbouw aanwezig. Het werd in oude stijl gerestaureerd tussen 1939 en 1941 door Jules Kayser, en hersteld van de oorlogsschade in 1950.

Vernoemd naar de stichters, is het sinds 1927 eigendom van de Vereniging Hendrick de Keyser. De naam "Romerhuis" herinnert aan de Venlose magistratenfamilie Romer uit de 17e eeuw. Momenteel is het pand in gebruik als winkelpand waar kwaliteitskoffie, -thee en chocoladeproducten worden verkocht.

ENG From source
The Romerhuis is a well-preserved house with a shop in late Gothic style from around 1490 on the corner of Kwartelenmarkt and Wijngaardstraat in the Dutch Limburg city of Venlo. The building has been a national monument since April 20, 1971.

It is made of brick with a stepped gable and small ornamental turrets; the only exception are some corner stones on the ground floor and the door frame. In addition, there are still traces of half-timbered construction in the rear of the Romerhuis. It was restored in the old style between 1939 and 1941 by Jules Kayser, and recovered from the war damage in 1950.

Named after its founders, it has been owned by the Hendrick de Keyser Association since 1927. The name "Romerhuis" recalls the Venlo magistrate family Romer from the 17th century. The building is currently in use as a shop where quality coffee, tea and chocolate products are sold.
Date Built: 1490
