Built in the early 1800s, House No. 17 stands as one of Oranjestad’s quiet witnesses to time. The home is named Anna Catharina, in honor of a woman remembered for her strength, clarity, and forward-thinking spirit—qualities that shaped both her family and the home she entrusted to the next generation.  

Behind its historic walls, this carefully preserved venue continues to evolve. Today, House No. 17 at Anna Catharina offers an intimate and character-filled setting, where heritage meets comfort. Fully air-conditioned and equipped with restrooms and Wi-Fi, the space is ideal for small group meetings, creative workshops, and meaningful gatherings.  

The venue offers flexibility, welcoming guests to utilize their chosen caterer and event specialist, as well as preferred furniture setups, allowing each event to be truly personal.   

In addition, guests may enjoy the option of using the outdoor areas, creating a seamless flow between indoor elegance and open-air charm. House No. 17 is more than a venue—it’s a place where stories were lived, and where new ones begin. For more information, inquire at events@neworanjestad.com.
