Judith de Jong | Real estate agent Broersma Wonen
Around 1740, amid Amsterdam's flourishing trade and growing prestige, a stately merchant's house was built on one of the canals. With a facade width of 7.54 meters, it was a building that stood out not only for its size, but also for its solid foundations, carefully laid by Mr. Nicolaes Benedictus Ingels. The first stone marked the beginning of a house that would remain a symbol of merchant success for generations to come. Simon Storm completed the construction, finishing the building with craftsmanship and precision and giving it its first appearance.
More than half a century later, the house was given a new, more refined look. The façade was crowned with a straight cornice, supported by four imposing consoles between which elegant transoms were placed. Once upon a time, a balustrade with elegant corner vases adorned the roof, a sign of the grandeur that the owner wanted to radiate. The windows were designed in the Empire style, in keeping with the fashion of the time. A stately staircase led to the raised entrance, while a separate lower entrance provided access to the basement. The entrance itself was embellished with a beautifully framed door, inviting visitors into a house where commerce and prosperity came together.
At the end of the 18th century, the house underwent another subtle but refined change. A transom window was placed above the entrance. The façade retained its cornice with a slightly protruding central bay, while the straight cornice with the four consoles emphasized the stately appearance of the building. Over the centuries, this house remained a silent witness to the changes in the city. Traders came and went, fashions and styles changed, but the foundations once laid by Ingels remained. Today, it is a reminder of the grandeur of yesteryear, a piece of living heritage that still breathes the soul of Amsterdam.

That is almost nothing compared to large industrial producers who deliver hundreds of pieces a day. What we find very important is that you get to know the producers through the taste of our salamis, pastas and beers.' You should be able to taste the love that the farmers have put into it', explains Gessica. From hazelnut paste and gnocchi to bottarga and aloe vera beauty products: the shop is full of delicious delicacies and beautiful products. Casa del Gusto is, as the name suggests, a house of taste for its customers.
