The Leiden House reflects the quiet romance of a Dutch city where canals shimmer at dusk, flowers lean from windowsills, and history lives in every narrow street. Hand-carved from sustainably sourced wood and painted in soft brown tones, this timeless piece brings the charm and warmth of old Leiden into any festive village or small-world play scene.
Inspired by the elegant façades found along Leiden’s historic waterways, this wooden house offers a gentle balance of nostalgia and simplicity. It invites children and adults alike to imagine stories of booksellers, musicians, and travelers passing through sunlit squares or snowy winter mornings.
Perfect on its own or paired with the Amsterdam, Haarlem, Bruges, Nyhavn, and Gdańsk Houses, the Leiden House adds depth, harmony, and storytelling magic to displays throughout the seasons.
