Due to renovation works, H401 / the House of Gisèle is currently closed to visitors. The building is undergoing a big series of works to implement sustainability measures to preserve the unique historical interiors in the years to come and to improve access to the house.
Currently, we are working on the renewed concept for our visitors after the re-opening of the house of Gisèle, as well as on our ongoing international cooperation projects ‘Training for the Contact Zone’, ‘Peace and Mobilities’ and ‘CONTESTED DESIRES: Constructive Dialogues’ continue as scheduled. You can follow the developments of these European Union-funded projects via our site and socials.
There is no exhibition on show nor a project space to book, there is no availability to join a guided tour through the historic floors of the house of Gisèle nor any possibility for residencies at H401. New dates for the tours and availability of the guesthouse will be available after the summer break of 2025.
All the works are executed under the close supervision of our restoration supervisor VDVDP Architecten, Monumenten en Archeologie / Gemeente Amsterdam and several other experts, e.g. Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed (RCE).
We thank you for your understanding and we look forward to welcoming you in the autumn of 2025.
In the meantime, we can leave you with a sneak peek of our current look! Our contractor specialised in historical restoration made this short film, available here.
