In the 17th century, the Jordaan neighborhood in Amsterdam
In the 17th century, the Jordaan neighborhood in Amsterdam was a vibrant mix of both residential and commercial life, reflecting the city’s booming economy during the Dutch Golden Age. Originally developed as a lower- and middle class district for craftsmen and laborers, the Jordaan became a hub of activity with narrow, picturesque canals lined by tight rows of houses, many with small shops or workshops on the ground floors. During this part of the tour the focus will be on the "gevelstenen" or "facade stones". These are small, decorative plaques often found embedded in the façades of Amsterdam’s Golden Age buildings. These stones serve both functional and decorative purposes, often communicating how the building was used, the profession of the building's owner or other significant facts about the people living and working there. Many "facade stones" feature intricate carvings, adding a layer of creativity and storytelling to Amsterdam's streetscapes.

The Westerkerk is one of Amsterdam's most important landmarks. It was originally constructed as a Calvinist church to serve the growing population of the city. The church's large, airy interior and simple, elegant design are typical of Calvinist worship spaces. The Westerkerk is also historically significant as the final resting place of Rembrandt van Rijn. The church's towering spire, completed in 1638, rises 85 meters (280 feet) above the Jordaan district, and is crowned with the imperial crown, a symbol of Amsterdam's status since the 15th century. The tower’s clock, with its distinctive chimes - which Anne Frank described in het diary - has marked the passing hours for centuries. Loved by residents for its beauty and historical significance, the Westerkerk stands as a cherished symbol of Amsterdam’s rich heritage.
