History
The original building was probably built around 1659. [6]
In the early 18th century, the house was inhabited by Izaak Balde, who had become the owner of the estate in 1695. [2] [5] Balde named the estate Frankendael, a name derived from Frankenthal, a place of refuge for Protestants near Worms, where his grandfather had found hospitality. [2] [5]
The construction of the building continued until 1733, when Huize Frankendael took on its current appearance. [2] [5]
After that, until 1759, the owner of the estate was Jan Gildemeester. Then, from 1779, the owner of Frankendael was Jan Gildemeester Janszoon. [2] In 1783, he commissioned the Amsterdam architect Jacob Otten Husly designed the Entrance Gate (Toegangspoort Frankendael). [7] [2]
At the front of the house at the canal is a marble fountain that was purchased in 1770 and originally came from the Driemond country estate [8] near Weesp.
The building was permanently inhabited until the early 19th century. [2] Between 1849 and 1866, Pieter Proot resided in Frankendael and held parties and banquets there. [5]
Later, in 1866, the Frankendael estate was acquired by the Nederlandsche Tuinbouw Maatschappij Linnaeus, who converted the rooms of the building into offices. [2]
Between 1927 and 1956, the gardens of the villa hosted open-air theatre performances in the summer. [5]
Meanwhile, in the early 1950s, restoration and refurbish work of the dilapidated house was undertaken under the direction of architect Ben Merkelbach. [5] The municipality of Amsterdam then offered Ben Merkelbach the opportunity to use Frankendael as his personal office in 1957. [2] The estate was subsequently inhabited by Merkelbach's descendants until 2004. [2] His stepdaughter Cecilia Lichtveld was the last resident of the house. [9]
