Charming National Monuments in the Heart of Zaltbommel's Historic Center

In a sought-after location within the fortified town of Zaltbommel stands this picturesque ensemble of two lovingly maintained national monuments, connected by a sunny and secluded patio with views of the impressive Sint-Maartenskerk.

National heritage status

Layout – Ground Floor
The stepped gable, partly built with monastery bricks, features a double front door with a high transom window, flanked by two 18-pane windows with natural stone sills. The hallway behind, once a grocer's shop, still boasts its original Belgian bluestone floor which continues into the long hallway leading to the kitchen and garden. The ochre-painted beamed ceiling and view onto the mezzanine room create an exceptionally warm and authentic atmosphere.
To the right of the hallway is the living room with an open fireplace, high ceiling beams, and antique floor tiles. This room flows visually into the raised room above the wine cellar—an ideal dining room thanks to the direct door to the kitchen. Both rooms enjoy tall, divided-light windows with charming views of Korte Strikstraat.
A small wooden staircase leads down into the simple but functional kitchen—perfect for informal dining. This same staircase folds up to reveal access to a dry wine and storage cellar. The kitchen also connects to the sunny patio and includes a separate toilet.
From the patio, there is access to the building on Korte Strikstraat, where the ground floor consists of a front and rear room, a pantry with fireplace, and a hallway currently used as a secondary entrance. Thanks to its own front door, this space is perfect for a home-based business, hobby room, or studio.

Layout – First Floor
The spiral staircase passes a charming mezzanine overlooking the former shop space—once used as a break room by shop staff, now well-suited as an extra bedroom or study.
Upstairs, a spacious landing transitions into a long hallway with storage. At the front is a full-width bedroom with two distinctive 9-pane windows and views over the historic Bommels Gasthuis. The original roof structure is beautifully exposed here.
Two further bedrooms with dormer windows, a utility room currently serving as a laundry area, and a spacious, though somewhat dated, bathroom with bath, shower, toilet and sink complete this floor.
Above the Korte Strikstraat section are two additional rooms. The front room has a dormer and skylight and offers access to a loft above. The rear room overlooks the patio garden. Both are ideal as guest rooms or workspaces and offer ample flexibility for hobbies or studio use.
