DATING FROM THE EARLY 17TH CENTURY
A history shaped by trade and creativity
The four buildings at numbers 16-19 feature elements dating back to the 17th century, during Amsterdam’s Golden Age. Most of the current structures and details were added in the 18th and 19th centuries, a period of renewed prosperity for the city.
DE HARINGPAKKERIJ
The beating heart of Amsterdam’s maritime commerce
In the 15th century, Amsterdam rose to prominence as a centre of the herring trade, the industry that helped build the city’s wealth and global reach.
The four buildings at numbers 16-19 were constructed between the early 17th and early 19th centuries, when Amsterdam flourished once again after the Golden Age. Their elegant façades, high windows and refined proportions reflect the classicist influences of that period.
A LEGACY REBORN
Reimagined as a unique place to live and work
For much of the 20th century, and until recently, the ensemble was home to Beekwilder, known for its craftsmanship in shop window design and visual presentation. Generations of retailers and designers passed through these doors, giving the buildings a new kind of creative energy. Today, Prins Hendrikkade 16-19 enters a new era, honouring its rich past while embracing a future defined by craftsmanship, elegance and modern ambition.
