Description

"Groot Payenborch", composite house, formed from a 14th-century large cross-house, possibly originally with a side house. The whole consists of a cross main house with rear house. The main house and the rear house each consist of three storeys, they are together covered with a U-shaped hipped roof, of which the two roofs are perpendicular to the front facade. The front facade of the main house is a cornice-topped facade plastered in a block pattern of four windows wide. All windows have been renewed in the 20th century. Below all ground floor windows there is a basement light. The door has a limestone surround from the first half of the 18th century, which continues in the surround of the window on the first floor. Above the door the name of the house is inscribed: "Payenborch". The frieze of the cornice is furnished with triglyphs. The surrounding hipped roof has the ridge parallel to the street on the front side. On the front slope above the door bay stands a roof dormer with hoisting beam. On each of the four corner points stands a monumental chimney. The rear facade was largely hidden behind a three-storey extension from 1909, which has been demolished. The part of the rear facade that has always been visible is two windows wide and has, like the front facade, 20th-century windows. On each of the two rear slopes of the roofs stands a roof dormer. The roofs date from the first half of the 19th century and contain a pine truss structure. The cellar has two double arched girders perpendicular to the front facade with trough vaults between them. The cellar under the rear house likewise has trough vaults on girders, this time parallel to the front facade. Around the middle of the 18th century masonry was built in these cellars for the construction of a passage on the ground floor. On that occasion the staircase, at least from the ground floor to the first floor, was situated in the side house. In front of the house are two courtyard cellars, both covered with a barrel vault. Building of importance because of its origin as one of the medieval stone houses of Utrecht and the later eighteenth- and nineteenth-century alterations. Mainly nineteenth-century side house of 320, called "Groot Payenborch", named "Klein Payenborch". Building of four storeys with a hipped roof with the ridge perpendicular to the street. The entire house is cellared. The two windows wide front facade is a presumed eighteenth-century facade, which in the 19th century was converted to a cornice-topped facade by topping. The windows contain on the ground floor nineteenth-century six-pane sash windows and on the floors T-windows. The gutter line is finished with blocks. On the front side of the hipped roof stands a monumental chimney. On the left a small gate, presumably from 1909, which gives access to the former Payenborchsteeg. Plastered rear facade. The side facade contains access to the house. Cellar with a barrel vault, courtyard cellar.
