Dutch term or phrase: in- en uitgezwenkte topgevels
Let op de eenvoudige ***in- en uitgezwenkte topgevels***, zoals te zien aan de panden nr. 11-15-16 en 37.
Is this describing façades that alternately recede or something?
TIA!

Explanation:
Ik heb ‘ingezwenkt’ ge-googled en deze verscheen: Klauwstuk.

Klauwstuk
Uit- en ingezwenkt zij- of vleugelstuk, gewoonlijk paarsgewijs ter weerszijden van de hals van een gevel of een dakkapel.
