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 staircase are spacious. A pleasant staircase in the middle of the building provides easy access to the third floor.
The living room, located on the canal side, offers a beautiful view that invites you to enjoy from the sofa and creates the ultimate feeling of living in the chic center of Amsterdam.
