amsterdam viewThe St. Nicholas church is the 3rd church in Amsterdam dedicated to the patron saint of sailors. The first church, built at the beginning of the 14th C, was converted into a calvinist church after the Alteration of 1578 and is now known as the Old church.
When in the 17th and 18th C it wasn’t possible for catholics to openly worship, a canal house belonging to a rich merchant was used as a ‘schuilkerk’ or hidden church. The building still exists and now houses the Onze lieve heer op solder (our Lord in the attic) museum.
The church you see on this photo was built at the end of the 19th C in neo-baroque style.

jordaan 2The Jordaan was built in the 17th C for the artisans and craft people with professions that made a lot of noise and pollution. They were not allowed to live along the main canals. Still nowadays the Jordaan is an area with many cafés, restaurants and art galleries.

amsterdam buildings 2The Oude Kerk (Old church) was built on the spot where in the 13th C a wooden chapel had been erected. The church was consecrated at the beginning of the 14th C and was dedicated to St Nicolas, the patron saint of sailors.
After the Alteratie (reformation) in 1578 the church became a protestant church and the name was changed. Nowadays the church is a centre for art and heritage.

dordrechtDordrecht originated at the beginning of the 11th C at the confluence of the Merwede and Thuredrith rivers.
Dordrecht was given city rights in 1220, which makes it the oldest city in Holland.
Due to its location between Rotterdam and Antwerp Dordrecht became a trade city. Wool, cloth, grain, timber and wine were the goods that were traded.
Its ‘Golden Age’ was between 1350-1450.
Between 1368 and 1806 the coins of Holland were minted in the city.
During the 80 Years war with Spain (1568-1648) Dordrecht played an important role: in 1572 representatives of 12 cities gathered in Dordrecht to join together in the struggle against Philips II of Spain. They decided to support William of Orange and recognized him as Stadhouder, earning Dordrecht the nickname ‘birthplace of the Netherlands’.
Dordrecht boasts more than 1000 listed buildings and is wel worth a visit!
Don’t miss the exhibition ‘In het licht van Cuyp’ at the Dordrechts museum (till March 6th 2022).

halloweenHappy Halloween from Amsterdam!
On the Singel in Amsterdam a man called Arie created this garden with 80 pumpkins. The giant pumpkin weighs 530 kgs (approx 1000 pounds) and it was grown in the Eastern part of the country. It took 6 neighbors to lift it!
It will go to the elephants of the Artis Zoo later in November.

amsterdamstoriesThe Begijnhof is a hidden gem in the centre of the city. Dating back to the Middle Ages, a Begijnhof (Béguinage) was a courtyard (hofje) where catholic ladies lived.
It was not a convent, the houses were private property and after the Alteration (reformation) in 1578 the ladies continued living there, but their church was transformed into a Presbyterian church, (the English church)and they could no longer openly worship.
In 1671 a schuilkerk (hidden church) was created from two houses opposite the church (nowadays the Miracle church).
On the Begijnhof you can also find one of two remaining wooden houses.

amsterdam barOn a rainy day like today, there’s no better place to shelter than in a bruin café (brown bar) such as Café Hoppe.
There has been a café here since 1670.
The first cafés originated in the 17th C as coffeehouses (hence the name; café is french for coffee) other beverages were served in so called tapperijen or beer houses.
Brown bars date back to the 19th C when housewives used their front rooms to serve beverages to clients in order to supplement the household income. This explains the cozy interior of the brown bars and the subtle illumination.
The sand (sometimes sawdust) that you see on the floor used to protect the floorboards from discoloration due to the chewing tobacco the clients spat on the floor. It also worked as a kind of sanding paper on the wooden floorboards.

amsterdam canalsYou can still find locks in the Amsterdam canals. They used to protect the city from flooding when the port was connected with the Zuiderzee( Southern Sea). The leaning house used to be the lock keeper’s house, nowadays it houses a bar called de de Sluyswacht.

amsterdam housesIn the past, people were taxed on the width of the house, so they built narrow, high and deep houses.
Since there was not a lot of room for the stairs, they also were narrow and very steep. This made it difficult to get merchandise up to the higher floors.
That’s why the houses have the hoisting beam at the top of the façade, they were used to bring up the merchandise, and furniture to the top floors.

amsterdambynightThe Waag (weigh house) used to be an entrance gate in the 15th C city wall, called St. Anthony’s gate.
When the city expanded beyond the wall at the end of the 16th C, the wall was demolished and the gate became the weigh house.
The building housed several guilds, such as the painter’s guild, the mason’s guild and the surgeon’s guild in the 17th C.
Anatomical lessons took place in the building, like the one depicted by Rembrandt: the Anatomical lesson of Dr. Tulp.
For these lessons, that took place during the winter months due to lack of refrigeration, the bodies of convicted criminals were used.
At the beginning of the 19th C the building stopped being used as a weigh house. It then had many different purposes and housed for a while the Jewish historical museum.
Nowadays there are the offices of the Waag society and there is a restaurant.

windmills 2Windmills of Amsterdam.
The 17th C Binnendijkse Buitenvelderse polder owes its name to the location between the dikes of the rivers Amstel and Schinkel.
The Rieker mill , a drainage mill on the Amsteldijk, originally stood in a different location near the Nieuwe meer.The mill was moved to its present spot in 1961, to be used by the water authority to drain excess water from the polder into the Amstel river, or to refresh the water in the polder.

dutch traditions 5Pea soup!
On a foggy and grey day like today you need this typical Dutch soup.
My grandmother used to make the best pea soup. The ingredients are ribs for the stock(or for a vegetarian version use a vegetable stock) which you brown in a pan, add water and a bayleaf and split peas and simmer for an hour.
In the mean time dice onion, carrot, leek, celeriac and a couple of celery stalks.
Remove the ribs and bayleaf from the pot, take the meat off the ribs and put it back in the pot together with the diced vegetables and let it simmer for another 20 mins, stirring occasionally and maybe add some more water.
Season with salt and pepper and put in a smoked sausage.
Serve with rye bread and smoked bacon. Enjoy!

montelbaanstorenThe Montelbaanstoren was built at the beginning of the 16th C on the Eastern side of the city as a defense tower and a look out over the Zuiderzee.
At the beginning of the 17th C the upper part was added by the architect Hendrick de Keijser.
The tower was given the nickname ‘mad Jacob’ because the bells would ring unexpectedly.

amsterdam 30The old church was built in the 14th C as a Catholic church dedicated to St Nicholas.
Today, Dec 5 th, the Dutch celebrate St Nicholas Day.
According to our tradition St Nicholas (Sinterklaas) comes with his assistants (they are all called Piet and have different tasks) from Spain on a steamboat🚢.
They arrive in the middle of Nov. In the following weeks the Pieten will walk over the rooftops and listen down the chimneys to find out whether the children are well behaved. All well behaved children will receive gifts🎁
In those weeks before Dec 5th children can place their shoe under the chimney( or central heating😃) with a carrot for the horse of Sinterklaas.
The next morning they will find a small gift or a chocolate letter( first letter of their name).
In the past, children who misbehaved were taken by Piet in a burlap sack back to Spain🙃Sinterklaas has a big book with all the information about the behavior of the children.
Tonight there will be a knock on the door and on the doorstep there will be a big basket full of presents🎁🎁🎁
We eat speculaas ( windmill cookies) and pepernoten (little spiced biscuits).

The building housed several guilds, such as the painter’s guild, the mason’s guild and the surgeon’s guild in the 17th C.
Anatomical lessons took place in the building, like the one depicted by Rembrandt: the Anatomical lesson of Dr. Tulp.
For these lessons, that took place during the winter months due to lack of refrigeration, the bodies of convicted criminals were used.
At the beginning of the 19th C the building stopped being used as a weigh house. It then had many different purposes and housed for a while the Jewish historical museum.
Nowadays there are offices and there is a restaurant.
