Maquette of Den Bosch, dating from 1950s. To the right is the St Jan's kathedraal

Upper part of Zwanebroedershuis, constructed in 1846 on the place where a former house stood, owned by the Zwanebroedersgilde. This gilde dates from the late middel ages and is now a oecumenic forum of both clergy as secular people. Money plays a major role in it. And nobless. House of Orange is also a member since the protestants occupied 's Hertogenbosch in the 16th (?) century, wjile chasing th Roman Catholics. Including the staues ( Beeldenstorm we call it here, more or les like the Taliban did with the Buddhas recently)

Photographing inside the house was strictly forbidden

So the gilde may have looked like in the beginning. Originally it was destined for the adoration of Maria, which was outdated then

Swan on top. Gilde used to eat swan, which was then very rare. Some members of the guild were allowed to shoot swans and ofered them to the guild members. Therefore the name

Side entrance of St Jan's cathedral
