The location … which is quite special. On the edge of the center area (Zeeheldenbuurt), around the corner from the Westerpark and within 10 minutes by bike to Central Station and 15 minutes to Dam Square. Do we need to say more?
A short dive into history
Welcome to the Spaarndammerdijk. The Spaarndammerdijk was built in the 13th century to protect the hinterland against the IJ water and the Zuiderzee. In the 16th century, after several dike breaches, it was the only land connection between Amsterdam and Haarlem. Municipal monuments on the dike include the Catholic cemetery of St. Barbara from 1893, and Buurtboerderij ’Ons Groeten’, a renovated farm from 1880. From the dike, travelers looked out over the IJ on one side and the regularly flooded meadows on the other. They bought vegetables and eggs from farmers and horticulturists en route, and they spent the night in one of the many inns along the dike. The painter Rembrandt van Rijn often took long walks around 1650 to sketch small farms and barns. The residential block of the Patrimony complex is of general interest because of its cultural and architectural-historical value as an image-defining and historical-functional example of metropolitan workers’ housing from the early twentieth century, as well as because of its ensemble value in relation to the neighboring buildings. Designed by the architects Tj. Kuipers and A. Ingwersen in 1918 and built in 1919 in the typical style of the Amsterdam School. The Spaarndammerbuurt was set up at the end of the nineteenth century for the workers who worked in the nearby new ports. The Spaarndammerplantsoen became a green oasis in a brick environment.
