In the street there are several other (partly) detached objects, mainly dating from the 19th century, next to and opposite the synagogue.
Deventer, NL
This important, beautiful church building without a tower is almost entirely built into an (irregular) residential block. Of the exterior (unless the church is open) only something can be seen at the back. In 1588, during the years of the restoration of the Spanish rule in Deventer, the Catholic merchant and mayor Macharius Penninck bought the hereditary property of the noble family Swaefken between Brink and Spijkerboorsteeg. The showpiece facade was probably built in 1597. A new "city palace" was built on the site of the old buildings.
