Architecture

In the17th century, the first Dutch architects returned from study trips to Italy. They were inspired by the formal language of classical antiquity and adapted it, with a sense of simplicity, to Dutch tastes and available building materials. The facades are reminiscent of temples, with columns, pilasters, moldings, and pediments, but the execution is more austere. More monumental. The classical ornaments were no longer spread across the entire facade, but limited to a few places. Prinsengracht 858 is a national monument, a house with an early 18th-century facade and an upper floor and straight cornice from the second half of the 19th century. The door frame dates from the late 18th century. The facade of this national monument looks like a 'normal' canal house, but its entrance and stairwell are spacious. A pleasant staircase in the middle of the building provides easy access to the third floor.

What the residents will miss

When I was looking for a pied-à-terre for work in 2011 as a non-Amsterdammer, on the recommendation of a friend in the 1017 postal code area, Prinsengracht 858c was the first apartment I visited. The monumental facade, the surprising layout, the charm of the interior, the view over the canal, and the proximity to the lively Utrechtsestraat and the beautiful Amstelveld immediately Sold me Sold I bought it within a week.
In recent years, it has been happily occupied by my youngest daughter and her boyfriend, who also regularly use it as a home office. The location and the apartment have a lot to offer for every stage of life and age.
The whole family is sad that I am now selling it, but I have since bought another charming 17th-century house in the center of Middelburg. I hope to make this a real family home too, but we will certainly miss this lovely apartment and quiet part of Amsterdam.

Canal Belt South

Grachtengordel-Zuid is essentially Amsterdam's calling card: stately buildings, tranquil canals, and just enough hustle and bustle to keep it lively. In the morning, you can stroll along the water with a coffee in your hand, and in the evening, it feels as if the city is taking a breather. The architecture tells the story of the city, with elegant 17th-century canal houses, tall windows, ornate facades, and rich details reminiscent of the Golden Age. On the Amstel, the neighborhood opens up with sweeping views, light on the water, and an almost village-like tranquility in the middle of the city. And then there is Utrechtsestraat: lively and quirky, full of specialty shops, good restaurants, and small boutiques, where neighborhood spirit and urban energy come together naturally.

Neighborhood guide

Located in the last section of Prinsengracht, between the Amstel and Utrechtsestraat and around the corner from Amstelveld. A highly regarded residential location for many. Thanks to the pleasant and varied shopping options in Utrechtsestraat and also from a culinary point of view, this neighborhood has many high-quality restaurants. Zoldering and De Juwelier have been awarded a Michelin star, and the Spectrum restaurant, part of the Waldorf, has even been awarded two. But there are also several cozy neighborhood pubs for a nice drink. Cultural attractions are within walking distance. Carre, De Stopera, and Pathé Tuschinsky are just around the corner. Small-scale markets and events are regularly organized in the courtyard garden on the Amstel, near the current H'ART Museum. On Mondays, the beloved flower and plant market on Amstelveld has been bringing color to the neighborhood every week for many years.

At char.d, guests can enjoy dishes ranging from yellowtail in olive oil to corn-fed chicken with miso and beurre noissette and classics such as the New York strip. The two chefs complement each other perfectly: Dean specializes in meat, while Slava focuses on fish.

The beating heart of the restaurant is the Slovenian Kopa charcoal grill in the open kitchen, affectionately nicknamed "Bobby" by the British Baker.

Willet-Holthuysen House

The impressive Willet-Holthuysen House is located in the heart of Amsterdam. This double mansion on Herengracht houses numerous period rooms. The name of the house is derived from the couple who lived here at the end of the 19th century: Abraham Willet and Louisa Holthuysen. They collected a wealth of art and objects and had the interior designed according to their personal taste. Even at the time, this beautiful house was considered a tribute to a romantic past. The interior served as a means for the couple to share their taste and prosperity with others. The magnificent salons are decorated in the style of Louis XVI, and the garden is symmetrically laid out as a formal French garden. In these romantic period rooms, the Amsterdam Museum organizes exhibitions featuring work by contemporary artists and collectors.
