Anna Paulowna Romanov (Anna Pavlovna) Sint-Petersburg1795 - Den Haag 1865 married King Willem II of The Netherlands on 21 february 1816 Bronze Statue. The Czar Peter House is an annexe of the Zaans Museum, which contains the humble dwelling where Peter the Great lived the first 8 days in august 1697 of his stay in Holland. It is half of an old wooden house, supported by a heavy wooden frame, encased in an almost chapel-like brick building. Various paintings of Peter and other Romanovs adorn the walls. Zaandam used to be called Saardam in the late 17th century. Being a major Dutch shipbuilding center, it was of tremendous interest to Peter, and upon crossing the Dutch border, he travelled directly there. A busy riverside village, with 50 small wharves, numerous sawmills and other supporting infrastructure, it was also home to the Dutch craftsmen who had worked for Peter in Moscow. One of the latter was a certain Gerrit Kist, whom Peter recognized immediately upon his arrival in Saardam. Peter, who was travelling incognito at the time, with only a few boyars and servants in tow, asked Kist to put him up for a few days. Kist's wooden house, built from the hulls of old ships, a customary building material for houses for the poor, was situated on the very edge of Saardam, in a place called the Krimp. The house had two windows and a tile fireplace which was used for food preparation.
