	the amsterdam flag The Amsterdam flag, based on the coat of arms of the city, consists of two red lines with a black line in the middle. Often, a line represents a river. In this case the Amstel river. On the black line there are three St. Andrew’s crosses. The crosses used to be part of the coat of arms of an important landowner in the 13th C called Persijn. It is said that the 3 crosses stood for the dangers in the past: water, fire and the plague. The coat of Amsterdam can be found on many historical buildings in the city. #the_amsterdam_flag #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #holland #iamsterdam #citytrip #fremdenfüherinamsterdam #iloveamsterdam #beiunsinamsterdam #guideserviceamsterdam #stadtführung #traveltips #walkingtouramsterdam #biketouramsterdam #history #storytelling #visitthenetherlands

	windmills In the 17th C there were more than 10000 windmills in the Netherlands. They were used for drainage and industrial purposes: saw mills, oil mills, paper mills etc. Nowadays there are still over a thousand windmills. About 25% still function, the rest have been converted into restaurants or houses, like this mill on the outskirts of Weesp. #windmills #countryside #biketour #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #visitholland #fahrradtour #guide_service_amsterdam #iamsterdam #traveltips #photoftheday #besuchensieholland
	amsterdam castle Muiderslot, also known as ‘Amsterdam castle’, is located in Muiden, at the mouth of the river Vecht. The castle dates back to the 13th century. It was built on a strategic point to enforce toll on traders travelling on the Vecht. In 1296 count Floris V was imprisoned in the castle, when he tried to escape he was killed by the noblemen that had conspired against him. In the 17th century, for 39 years, the poet PC Hooft was the bailiff for the Gooi area. He used to spend his summers at the Muiderslot. He invited fellow poets, writers and scholars for visits. The group became known as the Muiderkring. Nowadays the castle is a national museum. #amsterdam_castle #muiderslot #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #biketouramsterdam #guide_service_amsterdam #citytrip #fahrradtouramsterdam #fremdenführerinamsterdam #beiunsinamsterdam #iamsterdam #history #visitholland #amsterdamworld
	amsterdam parks Distillery ‘t Nieuwe Diep. In 1632 the Oetewaler mill was built on this spot to drain the water of the Overamstelsche polder into a little lake called het Nieuwe Diep. In 1880 the mill was replaced by a steam pumping station that operated till 1984. Since 1928 the area is part of the Flevopark. The building nowadays houses a distillery and tasting room and is a popular spot on a sunny day. #amsterdam_parks #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #citybreak #biketouramsterdam #iamsterdam #nieuwediep #amsterdamworld #fremdenführerinamsterdam #fahrradtouramsterdam #guide_service_amsterdam #visitthenetherlands #traveltips
	biketour The Western islands. At the beginning of the 17th century 3 islands were created on the West side of Amsterdam; the front island, middle island and aft island. Today they are known as the Bickerseiland, Prinseneiland and Realeneiland. They used to house the wharfs and storehouses of the Dutch West India Company, and in the 18th century salt stores, fish smokehouses and tanneries. Nowadays it is a nice residential area with hidden gardens. #biketour #iamsterdam #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #fremdenfüherinamsterdam #fahrradtour #visitamsterdam #amsterdamworld #guide_service_amsterdam #iloveamsterdam #besuchensieholland #citytrip #traveltips
	zuiderkerk The Zuiderkerk(southern-church). This church was the first church to be built at the beginning of the 17th century especially for protestant worship. The architect was Hendrick de Keijser. After the ‘Alteration’ of 1578 when the catholic government of the city was replaced by a protestant government the catholic churches were converted into places of worship for the protestants. Catholics were no longer allowed to openly worship at the time, instead they used ‘schuilkerken’ , hidden churches. #zuiderkerk #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #walkingtouramsterdam #fremdenführerinamsterdam #visitthenetherlands #guide_service _amsterdam #citytrip #biketouramsterdam #besuchensieholland #yourprivateguideinamsterdam #holiday
