Best Water Attractions in Amsterdam "Best Water Attractions in Amsterdam" Erstellt von : Cityseeker 6 Vorgemerkte Orte Keizersgracht "Imperial Canal" Keizersgracht was named in honor of Maximilian I, the Holy Roman Emperor from 1493 until 1519, who ruled over what was to become The Netherlands. The canal's name literally translates as "Emperor's Canal." Keizersgracht is also the widest of the major canals that form the city's inner canal ring and hosts some famous monuments, including the by Jorge Royan Homomonument, a monument to all the gay victims of oppression throughout the world. Another notable sight on this canal is the Huis met de Hoofden, the House with the Heads, a 17th-century canal house with distinctive stonework. In the winters, the canal freezes over and the locals use the it for ice skating. Keizersgracht, Amsterdam River Amstel "Namensgeber von Amsterdam" Die Amstel ist der Fluss, nach dem die Stadt Amsterdam benannt ist. Nach der Eindeichung der Amstel war es das Zentrum, von wo aus sich die Stadt ausbreitete. Im Süden reicht der Fluss bis an die Stopera und das Muntplein. Danach verschwindet die Amstel in mehreren kleinen Kanälen, die die ganze Stadt durchziehen. Am Abend bietet sich am Ufer des by Bit Boy Flusses ein tolles Bild von der Stadt. Die Amstel ist der Lebensquell der Stadt. River Amstel, Amsterdam Herengracht "Witness to Amsterdam's Opulence" Herengracht is the innermost of Amsterdam's major canals, not counting the former moat, Singel. Like its sister canals, Herengracht loops around the inner city to meet the Amstel River. Herengracht was named for the heren regeerders, or "regents," who were the rulers of the Dutch Republic. A notable section of the canal is the Gouden Bocht, or Golden Bend, that by Uppploader once housed the wealthiest citizens of Amsterdam, as can be seen by the many double wide canal houses that formed the palaces of the rich and powerful. A number of canal house museums such as the Willet- Holthuysen and the more unusual Kattenkabinet can be found along this canal. Whether you're cycling or on foot, this canal offers picturesque views of the city. Herengracht, Amsterdam Prinsengracht "Princely Waterway" This canal's name translates to Prince's Canal, and was named after William I. He was also known as William of Orange, and was involved in the 80 Years War which resulted in independence for the Dutch Republic. Prinsengracht is the longest of Amsterdam's major canals, forming the outer circle of the canal ring. Some of the city's most notable buildings by Aforaseem can be found along it, including the Anne Frank House, Noorderkerk and Westerkerk, making for a picturesque stroll. This canal also forms one of the borders of the picturesque Jordaan area, a former working class district that has been reinvented as a center for the arts and for trendy cafes. Prinsengracht, Amsterdam Java-eiland "Living Art" Constructed in 1995 and designed by 2 artists, this small islands is composed of 4 canals, 9 bridges, and narrow side-by-side rows of houses designed by 19 different architects. Each architect had to abide by strict building dimensions of 4.5 meters wide and 4-5 stories high. With pedestrian and cyclist traffic on the north and a shopping promenade on by Brian Pirie the south, Java Island utilizes its space to the max. Creatively compact, this site is a marvel of modern architectural design. Just be sure to watch your footing or you may find yourself unpleasantly wet, swimming through the canals. +31 20 702 6000 (Tourist www.stadseilanden.nl/jav [email protected] Javakade, Amsterdam Information) a.htm Bosbaan "Rowing Central" Located south of Amsterdam is the beautiful Bosbaan lake that offers a number of outdoor activities to all who visit. Primarily a rowing lake, it is often host to a number of sporting events and championships. So whether in training or getting the family out for a picnic, this well-maintained, scenic lake is best for all. by *_* [email protected] Bosbaanweg, Amsterdamse Bos, Amstelveen Schließen Sie sich uns an bei: cityseeker.com Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen | DATENSCHUTZBESTIMMUNG | API | KONTAKT | Urheberrecht (COPYRIGHT) 2020 CITYSEEKER Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

The palace was originally constructed in the 17th Century as the new Town Hall, designed by Jacob van Campen as a symbol of the Netherlands' far-reaching influence and its hefty stake in global commerce at that time. The palace by Diego Delso is an embodiment of opulence and lavish taste, generously adorned with marble sculptures, vivid frescoes and sparkling chandeliers that illuminate rooms of palatial proportions.

  • Luxury Low Countries
    LUXURY LUXURY in the LOW LUXURY COUNTRIES the in in the e superflu, chose très nécessaire”, wrote Voltaire 1736 in COUNTRIES LOW LOW his poem Le mondain. Needless to say that luxury is much Lmore than merely materialised/solidified redundancy. Offering a first panoramic view on various manifestations of conspicuous material culture in a Netherlandish context from 1500 until the present, this study – rather than investigating self- COUNTRIES evident cases of luxury – aims to explore its boundaries and the different stages in which luxury is fabricated or sometimes only simulated.

  • Govert Loockermans (1617?-1671?) and His Relatives: How an Adolescent from Turnhout Worked His Way up in the New World
    Govert Loockermans (1617?-1671?) and his relatives: How an adolescent from Turnhout worked his way up in the New World Willem Frijhoff (Erasmus University, Rotterdam / VU-University, Amsterdam) [Revised version, January 7, 2016] Summary This contribution aims at painting a picture of the person, the strategy and career of Govert Loockermans, paying special attention to the relationship he and his family in the New World had with Turnhout, and to the role played by the complex network of his relatives in the formation of New Netherland and of New York. He abandoned his Catholic Faith, and it appears that he soon ceased all contact with his blood relatives in Turnhout. He was not only a vigilant and cunning merchant, who amassed a large fortune for that time, but also a ruthless pioneer. We could see him as an icon of the current Wall Street capitalist. Either way, he was a man who helped determine and shape the age he lived in. His destiny continues to fascinate us. Govert Loockermans, the American hero from Turnhout, is the classic example of the ‘famous unknown’ gracing so many history books. He does not appear in any national dictionary, nor is he counted among the about thirty ‘famous Turnhoutenaren’ on the Turnhout tab of Wikipedia. Some of his deeds in the founding history of the country that later would become the United States are indeed very well known—even if not always flattering—but the history of his life in New Amsterdam, present day New York, has only been told a handful of times.

  • Amsterdam: on the Road with Rembrandt
    Amsterdam: On the road with Rembrandt As the National Gallery opens a major exhibition, Jonathan Lorie travels to the Old Master's home JONATHAN LORIE MONDAY 13 OCTOBER 2014 127 PRINT A A A 'It's like getting to know Rembrandt as a friend," whispers Celeste as she smears black ink across the fine lines of the copper plate. "People come here and watch me making these prints and sometimes they cry." Autumn light falls through a leaded window into the room where the master once worked. "I think it's because he put so much emotion into his pictures." She cranks the plate through a wooden printing press where it bites into a sheet of creamy paper. When we peel them apart, what I'm holding in my hand is the closest thing I will ever get to owning a Rembrandt etching. Out of the page stares a portrait of his wife, Saskia, a curly-haired woman in the second year of their marriage, with a quiet smile and patient eyes. It is signed and dated 1636. We are standing in Amsterdam's Rembrandt House Museum – the actual house where the couple lived in his heyday as a fashionable painter of the Dutch Golden Age. I have come here to explore his world, as a major exhibition of his later works opens at the National Gallery in London. And you can't get any closer to the great man than wandering the 17th-century rooms of his home. I am shown around by the curator, Dr David de Witt.
