herengrachtThe oldest house on Herengracht. At the beginning of the 17th century the city of Amsterdam was expanded by digging the famous canal belt. A small canal that had been dug in 1585 was enlarged in 1612 and given the name Herengracht( gentlemen’s canal). The house with the green shutters was built in 1590 and is now the oldest residence on the canal.#herengracht #visitamsterdam #iamsterdam #guide_service_amsterdam #walking_tour_amsterdam #citytrip #fremdenführerinamsterdam #besuchensieholland #traveltips #photooftheday #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #amsterdamworld |
