![The Rijksmuseum was designed by Cuypers in a combination of both Renaissance and Gothic[1] styles in the late 1870s. The result is similar to the Hôtel de Ville in Paris in what is considered to be "French Neo-Renaissance" style. However, at the Rijksmuseum the Gothic elements seem to outweigh the Renaissance and the building, despite the English Renaissance quoins, and chateauesque roofs, is sometimes considered to be Neo-Gothic.[2]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Rijksmuseum_Amsterdam.jpg/1280px-Rijksmuseum_Amsterdam.jpg)
