Herengracht 380, built by Jacob Nienhaus in 1890
Nienhuys commissioned the Amsterdam city castle Herengracht 380-382 by the architect Abraham Salm,[2] with virtually every room in a different style. The NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies now uses the building. He helped fund the Society for Folk Houses in Amsterdam. He was also involved in property development projects including the Villa Medan built in 1884 and named for the emerging city in Sumatra where the company established its headquarters. This was named after the city Medan on Sumatra.
