leaning housesMany houses in the city centre are leaning, like this group of houses on the Amstel. The city lies beneath the sea level, and the ground is very soft. Before we can build houses, we need to lay a foundation of piles. There are around 60 piles beneath a house, with a lenght between 12-20 meters. At a depht of 12 meters and again 20 meters there are sand layers. The piles are driven into the soil till they rest on the sand. In the past wooden piles were used, the city rests on 11 million piles. As long as those piles remained under water, they were like stone, but if the groundwater level changed, the piles started to rot. Hence the leaning.#leaning_houses #amsterdamstories #guideserviceamsterdam #amsterdamcanals #walkingtouramsterdam #yourprivateguideinamsterdam #citytrip #fremdenführerinamsterdam #amstelriver #iloveamsterdam #visitamsterdam #summerinthecity #photooftheday #cityvibes #wanderlust |

amsterdam storiesThe Montelbaanstoren is an old defense tower on the East side of the old town dating back to the 16th century. The white upper part was added in the 17th century. In the 16th century watchmen used the tower to check for fires in the city, especially on the shipyards. If the alarm was sounded the people from the neighborhood had to form a human chain and pass the bucket to help extinguish the fire. In the 17th century Jan van der Heijden invented the first firehose.#amsterdam_stories #visitamsterdam #guideserviceamsterdam #walkingtouramsterdam #traveltips #fremdenführerinamsterdam #visitholland #yourprivateguideinamsterdam #summerinthecity #amsterdamhistory #iloveamsterdam #montelbaanstoren |

amsterdam architectureThe Amsterdam opera house stands on an artificial island called Vlooienburg that was created in the bend of the Amstel around 1608. The quays of the island were used for wood storage and the island housed from the middle of the 17th century several orphanages. It was part of the Jewish quarter. After WW II the buildings in the area were in a bad shape, and were demolished to create space for a new city hall designed by the Austrian architect Wilhelm Holzbauer. After many years of protests it was decided to combine the city hall with a new music hall( opera & ballet) designed by the Dutch architect Cees Dam.#amsterdam_architecture #amstelriver #visitamsterdam #guideserviceamsterdam #fremdenführerinamsterdam #citytrip #walkingtouramsterdam #yourprivateguideinamsterdam #iloveamsterdam #summerinthecity #cityvibes #amsterdamstories |
