Sign: And what would you do?
Historical landmark
👍 It's an art piece and important monument, but it's a bit disappointing. The monument indicates the place where there was a sign that forbade Jews to enter Vondelpark during the Holocaust period. The monument is simply a mirror, meant for people to look at it (and at themselves) and wonder what they...

Korenmetershuis
Historical landmark
👍👍 In het Korenmetershuis hield eeuwenlang het zogenaamde Korenmetersgilde kantoor. Het gilde leverde een bijdrage aan de eerlijke handel in graan, een product waar Amsterdam vroeger heel veel van z’n rijkdom aan ontleende. De korenmeters hadden de belangrijke taak de inhoudsmaten van de korenhandelar...

🫤 We came here to celebrate a bachelorette with a group of 10 people. I have been there before and had organized this, but despite my first experience I still wanted to give it all a second chance. And unfortunately, things haven't gotten much better. I will first start with the good aspects of Nardin...

Statue Of Joost van den Vondel
Historical landmark
👍👍 A beautiful place of a very interesting story. It is a very old neighborhood in Amsterdam, in fact the black house is the oldest, the same one that was saved from a fire and remains until now. Its catholic church camouflaged in a front facade in front of a very old Calvinist chapel. It is a very ch...

Amsterdams Lieverdje
Sculpture
👍 Hier handelt es sich um die Statue eines kleinen Jungen, der ein schelmisches Grinsen im Gesicht und die Hände in die Hüften gestemmt hat. Wir kamen zufällig vorbei, da er auf dem Spui Platz, nicht weit vom Zentrum, steht.

Houten Huis Oldest House
Historical landmark
👍👍 The house is very unique, gothic architecture with interesting windows placement. This is one of the two wooden houses that survived a series of fires 500 years ago. This building was build approximately in 1425. Amazing to see, but it is a private residence so you can’t go inside. The enclosure cou...

Water tower Den Helder
Historical landmark
👍👍 De watertoren is een belangrijk herkenningspunt in Den Helder. In 1856 werd in Den Helder (één van de eerste watertorens van Nederland gebouwd; gietijzer en open) In 1908 is deze gietijzeren watertoren vervangen door een gemetselde dichte toren . In de jaren 60 was er een bouwstroming dat alles mode...

National Slavery Monument
Historical landmark
👍👍 There are still people living and working in slavery, we need to remember that times can shift and not asume that civilization moves forward. We always need to stand up for freedom and fight for human rights. We can do this by looking into history and take lessons from the past. #slavery
