The old warehouse at Ruiterstraat 8 is a remarkable reminder of the thriving trading economy of the Hanseatic city of Zaltbommel. Warehouses were indispensable in a trading city: this is where goods were stored that were transported to and from the city via the Waal. The robust construction and functional architecture of this warehouse tell the story of the large-scale trade that made Zaltbommel great during the Hanseatic period. The building is a rare example of medieval commercial architecture in the city.
