In Zaandam, the oldest surviving building in the whole of the Netherlands, the Czar Peter House is located. Built in 1632, it was inhabited during the year 1697 for a time by the Russian Tsar Peter the Great. A blacksmith named Kist, who owned the house at the time, helped the tsar at this time during his training as a shipbuilder. Today, the house provides, inter alia, a death mask of Peters.
