Bussink Koek

This building originally housed a bakery. This biscuit bakery, "De Kroonde Almansgading", was built in 1839 by Teunis Hissink.

The building was built in Neo-Romanesque style with a striking design in the form of a Renaissance palazzo.

Deventer is also called the Cookie City, because there were traditionally many cookie bakeries. In 1623 there were already 25. The guild books show that Jacob Bussink started his bakery in 1593 under the name 'In de traditionally krone Allemansgading'. According to a secret recipe, gingerbread, spice cakes and sucade cakes were baked in this bakery. Over time, Bussink grew by taking over several small cake bakeries.
From 1910 Bussink also supplied gingerbread. In 1952 the company moved from the city center to the Hanzeweg. It then bore the name Jb Bussink's Koninklijke Deventer Koekfabrieken NV. A cookie shop on the Brink remained.
In 1975 the company was taken over by a large American company (Continental Bakeries). The name Bussink remained, as did the well-known cookies with that name. In 1993, the 400th anniversary was celebrated with the presentation of a cake with a length of almost 28 m.
