A brief dive into history. Welcome to Spuistraat 3F-4 (or called Nieuwezijds Achterburgwal before 1890, as the street was originally called). The street was part of the medieval city and once formed the western border of Amsterdam. Currently we are talking about living in the middle of the center. Until the end of the 14th century, the Amstel divided Amsterdam into two almost equal parts, the old side with the Oude Kerk and the new side with the Nieuwe Kerk. To protect the city, a moat was dug on each side with a burg wall behind it, an earthen wall, provided with a wooden palisade for shielding. When new walls were built around 1385 behind these walls, the existing wall became the Voorburgwal and the new wall the Achterburgwal, on both the old and the new side. This is how the Oudezijds Voorburgwal, Oudezijds Achterburgwal, Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal and Nieuwezijds Achterburgwal were created, which was dug in 1380. In 1867 the Nieuwezijds Achterburgwal and part of the adjacent Kattengat were filled in. The former canal was renamed Spuistraat.
