Description
The Best of Both Worlds for Culture Lovers
Living peacefully on an isle at the broadest canal of Amsterdam and having Central Station, the National Opera House and the Music Center within walking distance.
Binnenkant 49A was originally built on Waalse Eiland (Waalse Isle) in the 17th century. The house was renovated in 1885 by architect Henry Moen. He made a new façade with a gable in Chalet style and renovated the interior.
Only the thick wooden beams in the basement remained original. This is the special feature of this apartment.
In 2005 Binnenkant 49 became a Municipal Monument.
In 2010 the canal belt in Amsterdam became an Unesco World Heritage site.
2020-2023 renovation by architect Mathilde Fischer. She did foundation repair with concrete pillars of 22 meters long. A new construction floor of reinforced concrete was placed on top of these piles. The moment this floor was attached in the old brick walls, the weight of the house was supported by the new piles and safe again.
Besides she brought back the details in the façade like architect Moen had designed.
Sitting on the terrace in front of Binnenkant 49A you have a spectacular view of the Montelbaanstoren (Montelbaans tower), which was built in 1516 as a defense tower. This tower dominates the life in the neighborhood because its bells chime every half an hour. The Duke of Alva (Alba) wanted to build originally a castle near this tower with the name Monte Albano. Therefore the tower was then called "Monte-Albaens-tooren", which popularly corrupted into Montelbaanstoren. The tower is nicknamed Malle Jaap (Silly Jaap), because the bells of the tower once started to play spontaneously at irregular times.
The Montelbaans tower is a Landmark and has inspired many artists:
“Montelbaanstoren,” painting by Abraham Storck, 1682.
“Montelbaanstoren,” intaglio printing by Fokke Simon, 1760.
“Vue de la tour Montalban,” painting by Claude Monet, 1874.
“Delirious Amsterdam,” painting by Peter Klashorst, 2018.
“The Cracks,” Light installation by Karolina Howorka. A’dam Light Festival, 2019.
