Utrecht - Huis Oudaen

On the left-hand side of the picturesque Oude Gracht (Weerdzijde), at No. 99, stands Huis Oudaen, a fortress-like patrician house of the 14th century with a fine doorway of 1680. The treaty of Utrecht (1713) which ended the War of the Spanish Succession was signed in this house. Restored in 1986, it is now a popular restaurant. On the opposite side of the gracht is Huis Drakenburg, which may be even older than Huis Oudaen.
