The houseboat “Rumah Saya” is a motor tjalk located at the intersection of Keizersgracht and Amstel. This historic vessel, built in 1893, measures approximately 16.7 meters in length and 3.7 meters in width. ⛵

In Indonesian, rumah saya literally means “my house” (rumah = house, saya = I/my). In Malay, it has the same meaning. 🇮🇩🇲🇾🏠

The houseboat is situated in a prime location, close to the “National Opera”, “Koninklijk Theater Carré”, “Museum De Hermitage”, and the “Magere Brug”. 📸

The Caetsbaanbrug (Bridge 112) is a fixed bridge, spanning the Lauriergracht and connecting the Prinsengracht’s southwest quay. Its name comes from the historic “Kaatsbaanpad”, which existed here before the canal was dug. The bridge dates back to at least 1️⃣6️⃣2️⃣5️⃣, as seen on old maps. 🗺️

In 1704, a three-arched version was built, similar to nearby bridges. The current structure, made of wrought iron and buckled plates, was constructed in 1️⃣8️⃣9️⃣3️⃣. 🌉

“Huis met de ooievaar” (house with the stork).

You’ll find this red brick national monument on the corner at the intersection of Prinsengracht and Reguliersgracht. 🧱 🏠

The bell gabled canal house features a façade stone depicting a stork, as a midwife once operated there in the 17th century. 👩🏻‍🍼

Another notable detail is the sundial on the façade. 🌞

With its charming architecture and storytelling details, this house remains a beautiful example of Amsterdam’s canal heritage. 🧡

“De Jordaan” was developed in the early 17th century to accommodate the city’s increasing population.

The Westerstraat itself was originally a canal known as the Anjeliersgracht, which was filled in during 1861 to create the current street.

The buildings along this street, including this one at the intersection with Prinsengracht, were primarily constructed during this period, reflecting the architectural styles prevalent at the time. 🏡

Another shot from the mural by “The London Police” on the corner of the Prinsengracht & the Tuinstraat. Created as a 'protest' of the continuous graffity tags of the blind wall. The mural offers a combination of classic Dutch architecture and urban art. “TLP” Consists of Chaz Barrisson and Bob Gibson, and has been active since 1998. 👮‍♂️👮‍♂️
