The garden of approximately 44 m² is accessible from both the kitchen and the living room. This tranquil outdoor space provides an oasis of calm in the heart of bustling Amsterdam.

History of the Burgwallen

Originally, the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal was a canal-side defensive wall. Before 1385, the Amstel River divided the city of Amsterdam into two nearly equal halves: the Old Side with the Oude Kerk (Old Church) and the New Side with the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church). Each side was bordered by a defensive wall. Around 1385, new walls were built, and the existing walls became "Voorburgwal" (front defense wall) and "Achterburgwal" (rear defense wall) on both sides of the river. Thus, the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, Nieuwezijds Achterburgwal, Oudezijds Voorburgwal, and Oudezijds Achterburgwal came into being.
