De Nieuwe Kerk Church The De Nieuwe Kerk is a marvelous 15th Century church in the city of Amsterdam. You will find it on Dam Square. Of all the unique and ornate churches in Amsterdam, de Nieuwe Kerk is one of the most outstanding. It is the most important church in The Netherlands. Beginning in the year of 1814, all the Dutch monarchs have been inaugurated in De Nieuwe Kerk Church of Amsterdam. The last monarch to have been inaugurated in De Nieuwe Kerk Church is the current reigning King Willem - Alexander. King Willem-Alexander was inaugurated on April 30, 2013. King Willem-Alexander also married Princess Máxima, who was born in Argentina, South America. They were married in 2002 in this beautiful and historic church. She is today, Queen of The Netherlands. De Nieuwe Kerk Church was built-in 1400 and was one of the few things in the area that did not burn to the ground in the fires of 1421 and 1452. These were two major fires in Amsterdam and though the church escaped damage at that time, it was burnt to the ground two centuries later. Plumbers who had been working on the building anciently started a fire and the church was totally lost. The church, however, was completely restored to all its former beauty. The New Church was restored in the original early Renaissance style throughout. In between the many inaugurations and other important celebrations, De Nieuwe Kerk Church is the venue for many art and historical exhibitions. The inside of the church is ornate with an amazing altar. Take time to see this very original altar and the beautiful pipe organ. It is one of the great pipe organs in the world.

The buildings are colorful, with unique facades. Take time to stroll through the streets and see what you will discover. You will see houses of famous people, museums, bakeries, and more. This is a city where uniqueness is valued. The houses in Amsterdam are tall, narrow, and artistic. Can you imagine all those stairs to climb? A house having several floors was common back when these homes were built, and it still is.Businesses shared space with homes. There were attics and basements for business storage. The Kingdom Of The Netherlands is a small country. Land is precious and in order to supply their needs, they built up. Once these were homes for the Dutch wealthy, now, many of these canal homes are museums, offices and hotels. Can you visualize living on the edge of the canal? Here you could see all the other facades on the neighbors homes. You could watch those who walked around the city and those who zoomed past on their bike. You could come out into the street and great your neighbor. Most houses were a business on the first floor. The morning would start with the butcher greeting the baker, and the shoe maker the tailor. What a unique and amazing life this must have been! Even today, think about the thrill of having one of these beautiful homes. It is more than the architecture, and even the canal. Take time to discover the tiny alleys, the unique gardens and savor the stories hidden behind each home. These artistic canal houses today offer a perfect panoramic view of the old city. Here you can view the busy canal area, where bicyclists, boats, business owners, and tourists hurry past. Take a little time and you will find the perfect motel and your favorite museum. Don't hurry too fast, or you may miss the most delightful cafe or cheese shop. So how could you get your furniture up to where the family lived? Or your cotton out of the basement? This is the most amazing system on earth. There are large hooks attached to the top floor. These hooks were used to hoist furniture and other household goods up and through the windows. What a simple convenience! If you watch closely as you wander through the alleys, you will see this tradition is still in use today. Museums in the Canal Houses A visit to the Museum of the Canals (Het Grachtenhuis) provides the perfect opportunity to learn the history of these unique houses. While you are here, you can plan out your personal itinerary for the time you will be in the Canal area. This is one of the favorite museums, as it will give you the depth of knowledge to make wise decisions about your time. After visiting this museum, you will see the canal area differently.

A free Audio Tour Guide is available in "English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), and Dutch." Another delightful smaller museum is the Museum Van Loon. This is the former home of the Van Loon family. Willem van Loon co-founded the Dutch East India Company in 1602. Here you will find impressive furniture, beautiful paintings, and several centuries of silver and porcelain. Museum Van Loon Keizersgracht672 1017 ET AMSTERDAM 020 624 5255 (Telephone) The museum is opened from Monday through Sunday from 10:00 am till 5:00 pm. Be sure to explore behind the home where you will see gardens, a coach house, and many authentic harnesses and liveries. Willem Van Loon loved to drive his coaches and could be seen in many local competitions. His love of horses is reflected throughout the home. Museum Geelvinck is the third museum of our trio of spotlighted museum. This is the home of wealthy Albert Geelvinck who commissioned the home to be built-in 1687. This home was to celebrate his marriage to Sara Hinlopen. Here you will see one of the most magnificent homes of this time. This home is complete with a coach house and a beautiful lush private garden. Today, it is also used for many piano and violin concerts.

There are several that range from a one-star experience to all the grandeur of a five-star. The Canal House Hotel is a four-star hotel that uses two 17th century canal houses on Keizersgracht Street. The hotel is near the home of Anne Frank. You are also only a short walk to Dam Square and Central Station. The house is furnished in lovely antiques throughout, with the exception of the bathrooms. Canal House Hotel Keizersgracht148 AMSTERDAM 020 622 5182 (Telephone) The Pulitzer Amsterdam is a Dutch example of extreme elegance. The Pulitzer is made up of 25 canal houses.

The Hotel Orlando Prinsengracht 1099 Amsterdam, 1017 JH The Netherlands 31 20 625 21 23 (Telephone) Anne Frank's House The Anne Frank House is also another museum in the canal area. I separated it from the others due to its extraordinary history. It is here that a Jewish family lived during a time of extreme hate. To be a Jew during World War II, was to live with a death wish over your head. The Anne Frank House celebrates the writing of this young Jewish girl. At 13 she was a gifted writer and her diary has been published in several languages. Many books have also been written based on the contents of the diary. This is a story of hope and faith. It is a story of love in a world of hate. Though the young author did not live through her horrendous experiences, her writings continue to inspire even to this day. While visiting the home, you will not only see the location where the business was located, but also the secret annex where the Frank family hid together with 4 others. Anne describes the 500 square feet that these 8 people lived in as luxurious compared to where others were hiding. They successfully hid here for 2 years until someone turned them in with an anonymous tip. If you have not read her diary or any of the books that are based on it, I would suggest that it would be a helpful preparation for viewing her home. This is more than a museum, it is a remarkable story of faith and love in a world of hate. A famous quote from her writings during the Nazi Occupation shows her love and the dreams she had, even though she lived and died in a very dark hour of history.......... "It's utterly impossible for me to build my life on a foundation of chaos, suffering and death," she wrote on July 15, 1944. "I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more." The Anne Frank House Prinsengracht 263-267 Amsterdam, The Netherlands +31 (0) 20 5567105 (Telephone) The Anne Frank Museum is open during the months of April to October from 9:00 am till 10:00 pm daily.
