Description

Introduction

Double DWELLING with adjoining WORKSHOP, dating from second half of the 18th century-1865. The house is located on the market square in the centre of the village and is built in Craft-traditional style. The house has special historical significance due to the circumstance that, as evidenced by a commemorative stone in the pavement in front of the house, I.J.A. Gogel, the first Dutch Minister of Finance and founder of the Dutch tax system, was born here in 1765. The extension from 1865 was the workshop of the Gebrs. De Kort, Ateliers voor Christelijke Kunst (Workshops for Christian Art) until 1924. Among the most important representatives of this Vught artist family who lived and worked here are the sculptors Willem de Kort (1829-1876) and Guilliam de Kort (1854-1924).

Description

Single storey, two storeys at the Marktveld, rendered and painted white building under a hipped roof. Along the Torenstraat and perpendicular to the dwelling house lies an elongated narrow single storey building component under an attached gabled roof with roof panel at the end. The roof panel at the Marktveld is covered with eaves-covered Hollandse tiles, the remaining roof panels are predominantly red Hollandse tiles, while the workshop at the Torenstraat is entirely covered with eaves-covered Hollandse tiles, mixed with red on the garden side. The rafters are furnished with frost tiles. Centrally on the ridge of the dwelling house stands a large brick chimney. The 7-bay rendered facade is executed as a recessed cornice-topped facade. This is above a low, grey-painted plinth entirely provided with false joints suggesting a block bond. The left dwelling (no. 36) has a solid panelled door with divided fanlight, furnished with wrought-iron grilles, with one six-pane window to the left and two to the right, furnished with sash windows and double hinged shutters. The right dwelling (no. 34) has a solid panelled door with divided fanlight at the far right with two six-pane windows to the left, furnished with sash windows and double hinged shutters. The windows have stone sills. The front facade has on the storey 5 identical windows as below and is, after being recessed, crowned with a profiled, partly wooden cornice. Doors and shutters are painted standard green, window frames, sashes and cornice white. The left side facade is above the low, grey-painted plinth admittedly rendered and painted white, but lacks the indication of a block bond. Here, at the Torenstraat, there are two six-pane windows on either side of a blocked door, furnished with sash windows and double hinged shutters. The sashes, with the exception of the sash at the far right on the corner, which is renewed, have centre glazing bars. The windows in this facade, in contrast to those of the front facade, are not furnished with stone sills. At the far left in the low plinth is a small basement window. This basement window and the window above it actually form part of the outbuilding, but are visually associated with the front house. A simply profiled plaster moulding with a roof gutter closes off the side facade, which is further furnished with small bar anchors. The left side roof panel is furnished at attic level with a large dormer window with four six-pane casement windows under a flat roof. The rear roof panel has a dormer window with two casement windows with cross muntins. The blind right side facade consists entirely of yellow IJsselsteen. The rear facade was partly renewed in 1968. The outbuilding dating from 1865 along the Torenstraat is above a narrow rendered plinth constructed of orange hand-moulded brickwork in Flemish bond. Six arched closed window and door openings rhythm the long side facade. The arches are built of radial tiles. Those of the (former) carriage entrance gates are wider than those of the windows. The two windows at the far left are furnished with a possibly original rendered closure. Next to it a carriage entrance gate with double door, furnished with panes in the part just below the springing of the arch, then two windows, furnished with brick sills, on either side of a carriage entrance gate converted to a multi-pane window. Below the Brabantine gutter simple short bar anchors.

On the roof at the far right a small dormer with two six-pane casement windows under a flat roof. On the ridge near the front house a brick chimney. The thinly plastered rear facade has at the far right an arched doorway with a lunette-shaped two-part fanlight above an old door with corresponding ironmongery. Centrally below the eaves sits a double casement window with iron glazing bars and nine panes in two parts. The long facade on the garden side has three similar high-placed windows and at the far right an arched gateway. A chimney rises from the roof foot.

Internally the old layout has been largely preserved. Behind the front doors there is a long corridor laid with white marble and black tiles in three strips. Stucco ceilings with leaf motifs along the walls, which partly consist of plaster and reed. At no. 34 a living room with grey marble fireplace mantel (second half of 19th century). Renewed lowered ceiling, old bed alcove and cupboard. At the back of the house a kitchen with chimney-breast from fourth quarter of 19th century with moulded stiles and green glazed tiles in the chimney-breast beam. Late nineteenth-century beam ceiling with beaded profile. Likewise window frame with moulded panels and stiles. On the upper storey a large bedroom with bed alcove. In the attic an A-frame truss with mortise and tenon joints, circa 1865, furthermore much reused timber, oak and round wood. Unboarded roof structure. Two chimneys built of IJsselsteen. On the stairs to the upper storey is just visible part of a one-sided overhanging tie beam with two braces and wooden mortise and tenon joints from sawn oak, which was probably applied in the front facade. On the upper storey various old clamped doors with old ironmongery. The basement under no. 34 is filled in, the upper room altered. No. 36 also has a grey marble fireplace mantel; the basement has a wooden beam ceiling.

In front of the house in the paving a hardstone memorial stone. The text reads: "In this house was born Isaak Jan Alexander Gogel (1765-1821) The first Dutch minister of finance and founder of our modern tax system".

Valuation

The double dwelling-house from second half of 17th century-1865 is of general importance. The building has cultural-historical value as an example of a double dwelling-house with workshop. It is historically significant as the birthplace of the first Dutch minister of finance Gogel and as the residence and workplace of the Vught artist family De Kort who played a role in the emancipation of Catholics in the Netherlands. The building has architectural-historical value because of the well-preserved main structure both internally and externally and the traditional use of materials as well as because of components of the interior. Through its location at the market in the centre of the village it furthermore forms an ensemble.
