D	Daniëlle Dolmans on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lots of information why Czar Peter came to Zaandam. A friendly lady gave some extra information. A nice small wooden house from 1697 in an nice old stone building. If you are in Zaandam and love history it is very nice building to visit.
O	Orchid Set on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was nice to see and read all the information there to learn something. But it is very small.
K	Karen Goulding on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Worth a visit, historical and every surface covered in graffiti from 17th, 18th century, fasinating
J	Jenny Chen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's one of the Oldest house in Holland, which in Zaandam only 20 minute by bus from Amsterdam. Small house but great history.
G	Gevork Dzhanibekyan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The unique place where you can see a piece of Russian history connected to Europe. The private tour in museum opens a new page of history to you.
M	Michael Anderson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very small and maybe not worth the entry if you're not a big history nerd. If you are however its definitely worth wandering in for a couple mins. There are days where it has lower admission and we happened on one of those days, so it only cost 1 euro. Try checking in advance.
R	Robert Diel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Czar Peter House (Dutch: Czaar Peterhuisje) is a historical building in Zaandam, the Netherlands. It is best known as the place where Czar Peter I of Russia (1672-1725) resided in 1697 during his Grand Embassy. The building was constructed in 1632. Czar Peter was here to learn from the Dutch about boat building. The box bed is huge. Czar Peter was a very big man, reportedly standing 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m). The wooden house is inside another one, a later on erected brick house like a brick shell, to be able to preserve the wooden house better by shielding it from the weather and being able to regulate the atmosphere inside. It certainly is a very interesting place to visit and see. A friend of mine took me here on 12 February 2015 and we were the only visitors here, making it a very rewarding visit as we were able to see everything as if Czar Peter could have walked through the door at any moment. I shall definitely return.
S	Seimen Burum on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Interesting small museum with one of the oldest houses in The Netherlands inside a brick building to protect it. The house became famous after Tsar Peter the Great stayed there incognito (at first) in 1697 on his mission to learn shipbuilding. Being a tall man with 2,04m you wonder how he managed to live in that small house when Dutch people were only 1,65m tall at that time. On the sides of the old house are interesting panels on history. Obviously the place is popular with many through the years but especially with Russian visitors. No wonder the ladies at the desk are of Russian origin but speak fluent Dutch as well. The museum is only a 15 min walk from the train station which has a direct connection to Amsterdam
