Former Lutheran church on Singel. The church was built in the 17th C. At the time only Calvinist churches could have a bell tower. But by adding the little lantern, the church had a mini tower. The Swan on top was the symbol for Lutheran churches. Do you know what the symbol for Calvinist churches was?

CafĂ© life. On a rainy day like today, there’s no better place to shelter than in a bruin cafĂ© (brown bar) such as CafĂ© Hoppe. There has been a cafĂ© here since 1670. The first cafĂ©s originated in the 17th C as coffeehouses (hence the name; cafĂ© 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 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 offices and there is a restaurant.
