The Hodshon house is situated on the Spaarne in Haarlem. It was commisioned by the then 22 year old (Cornelia Catharina Hodshon) ‘Keetje’ Hodshon in the year 1794. This took place in the middle of the tumultuous situation of the Batavian revolution. Keetje came from a Mennonite family from England that gained it’s wealth by trading in linnen. She became an orphan at a young age and inherited a enormous sum of money. Because of this Keetje could afford to build her palace in the city, across from the Teylermuseum, with a view of the Spaarne and the Bavo church.

In the afternoon there were historical dancing workshops.

The dinner took place in the beautiful style chambers of this neoclassical house. These state rooms or style chambers, among the most beautiful neoclassical interiors of our land, represent all great European interior styles of the time; the Etruscan room, the Red Room or Library and the Blue Room and or Music parlor.
