The History of Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal

Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal has a rich history, closely connected to the origins and development of Amsterdam.

Before 1385, the River Amstel divided the city into two almost equal parts: the Old Side, centred around the Oude Kerk, and the New Side, centred around the Nieuwe Kerk. Both districts were bordered by fortified embankments, which formed part of the city's early defensive system.

When new defensive walls were constructed around 1385, the existing embankments became known as the voorburgwal (front defensive embankment), while the newly constructed ones were referred to as the achterburgwal (rear defensive embankment). This gave rise to the names Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, Nieuwezijds Achterburgwal, Oudezijds Voorburgwal and Oudezijds Achterburgwal.

Over the following centuries, Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal developed into an important location in Amsterdam's city centre. The monumental buildings lining this former waterway remain a tangible reminder of the city's rich architectural and cultural heritage.
