amsterdam stories 2Schreierstoren. The Schreierstoren used to be part of the 15th Century city wall. It’s name is derived from Schrayershouck, meaning a sharp corner or angle. But the Dutch word schreien also means to cry. So we call it the tower of tears or the weeping tower because this was the place where the wives said good bye to the sailors when they left.#amsterdam_stories #citytrip #guide_service_amsterdam #visitamsterdam #walkingtour_amsterdam #beautifulcity #fremdenführerinamsterdam #bike_tour_amsterdam #yourprivateguideinamsterdam #schreierstoren |
