The property at Oliestraat 41 is located in a street that owes its name to the oil mills that once stood in the area. During the Hanseatic period, the Oliestraat was a bustling street, connected to oil processing, which was an important branch of industry in the city. The historic buildings along this street bear witness to the close relationship between the urban economy and the artisanal production that made Zaltbommel great.
