Amsterdam_XXXThe iconic houses at the beginning of Damrak in Amsterdam, often called “Dansende Huizen” (Dancing Houses) are historic canal buildings that are called like this due to their slightly tilted appearance.<br>
<br>
Built during the Dutch Golden Age<br>
👑⚱️🔱💰, they served as merchant homes and warehouses, designed to maximize space with their narrow yet deep structures. <br>
<br>
Their distinctive gabled facades were both decorative and practical and often featuring pulleys for hoisting goods. 🪝📦📦<br>
<br>
Standing partially in water, these houses in the ’Venice of the North” require careful maintenance to prevent further tilting 👩🔧👨🏻🔧🏛️.<br>
