The yellow/ochre coloured house with the small tower at the Nieuwendijk in Flushing, the Netherlands, is called the 'Lampsins House'. This house was built in 1641 in order of Cornelis Lampsins, in the 17th century the most important Zeeland shipowner. Lampsins had his office that time at ground level and he lived at the first floor, enabling him to watch better the seamen working at the quay loading/unloading his ships and the ships which were sailing at the Western Scheldt.
