John Knox House
Encyclopedia : J : JO : JOH : John Knox House
The John Knox House is an 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.
