John Knox House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The John Knox House is a historic house in Edinburgh, Scotland, reputed to have been owned and lived in by Protestant Reformer John Knox during the 16th century.
The house itself was built in 1490, featuring a fine wooden gallery and hand-painted ceiling. Over the next few centuries many decorations and paintings were added, and the house and its contents are now a museum.
The building is owned by the Church of Scotland and is now administered as part of the new, adjacent Scottish Storytelling Centre.
