What we love most about our home is the unique blend of history, character, and city life. The house has a soul of its own and feels like a peaceful, warm place, while everything that makes Amsterdam so wonderful is literally just around the corner.

This house has always given us the feeling that we could escape for a moment, without actually leaving the city. For us, the neighborhood is one of the most beautiful places in Amsterdam.

The neighborhood’s cafés, specialty shops, and stores—such as Café de Wetering, Café Brecht, Duikelman, the Albert Cuyp Market, and Patisserie Holtkamp—have also become part of our daily lives. It feels special to have been able to be a part of this building’s 350-year history for a while. We’re taking many wonderful memories with us, especially of the evenings with friends and family. But one image will always stay with us: our first Christmas here, with the tree lit up in the living room, surrounded by the house’s beautiful historic details. We’ll never forget that moment.

National Museum
The architect, Pierre Cuypers, had made a design in historical style for the Rijksmuseum, a mixture of Gothic and Renaissance and full of national symbolism. After years of hassle - many thought it was too medieval, too Catholic and not really Dutch enough - construction started in 1876. It was officially opened in 1885. In addition to the existing collection, almost all older paintings from the City of Amsterdam were hung in the Rijksmuseum, such as Rembrandt's Jewish Bride, which the banker A. van der Hoop had bequeathed to the city. There was also art from Haarlem, part of the Cabinet of Curiosities was given a permanent place and the print room was given its own space. A worthy collection, in a magnificent building.
During the last renovation (2003-2013), the building was given back Cuypers' original structure. The building has been modernized, but at the same time the interior has become more like Cuypers' building again, in all its grandeur. Painting, applied arts and history can no longer be seen in separate parts of the building. Everything together forms one chronological story: the story about Dutch art and history, from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
