History

Living in a piece of Amsterdam’s heritage!

In the charming Plantagebuurt lies a unique piece of history: a stunning townhouse from 1887, designed by architect A.A. Swenger. This exceptional property immediately captures attention with its elegant facade and characteristic narrow porticos—a rarity in the city. The client behind the construction of Plantage Muidergracht 25-29 was Nicolaas Johannes Hoogland, a tavern keeper and liquor merchant who ran his own café on the same street.

Behind the classic brick facade lies a charming and surprisingly spacious home with high ceilings, a basement, three floors, and an attic. The facade still proudly displays the original ‘bovenhuis’ inscription carved in natural stone—a silent witness to its rich history.

This home is an early example of so-called “revolutionary construction”: solid, stylish residences built in the late 19th century for the emerging middle class. At the time, many diamond cutters lived in this neighborhood. Not just a delightful home, but also a place with a story to live in.
