Historical background
In ’t Aepjen can be found on Cornelis Anthonisz’s city map from 1544. During the era of the Dutch East India Company (VOC), In ’t Aepjen was an inn where sailors stayed. If they were unable to pay the bill, they were allowed to settle their debt with little monkeys or souvenirs they had brought back from overseas. These cute little monkeys were, of course, full of fleas, so anyone who had stayed at In ’t Aepjen would come out scratching themselves because of the itch. It is said that this is where the name of the café comes from, as well as the Dutch expression ‘to be in the monkey’s den’.
