The two buildings with the red shutters date from 1677 and used to be warehouses. Not in use for that purpose anymore they are renovated in 1982 into seven appartments and a winery.
The buildings are called "the Sun and the Moon" as you can see on the shutters and the gable stone in the facade.
Very attractive and beautiful building with a history.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThose buildings called like that were made for my girl and for me. Sund and moon. Hugs my friend. Sorry for my absence.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenI think I have seen them. Love those red shutters...and also the large windows in the house to the left.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAfter yesterday's post I don't think I will ever look at Amsterdam housing the same again without seeing if it is leaning to one side or not.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI like this building Marianne,it would be lovely to have an apartment here, expensive I bet!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYou could never mistake these buildings for any other than in Amsterdam. The architecture is so wonderful and distinctive.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenguess what, a huge snowstorm is expected here on friday. lets see if that is finally true......
I once visited such a canal house and I was amazed of the size of the house. But these houses are very expensive.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGreetings,

You have such beauty here and I so enjoy your photos and stories. I am glad I ran into you - keep up the lovely history, posts and photos. lol
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI've always been intrigued by the rows of 4 and 5 story buildings which mostly were used for residential purposes/
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe shutters really differentiate this canal house from the others. It must be very pleasant living there.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThese are beautiful and I bet they come with a beautiful price tag!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI would have missed the "Sun and Moon" unless you had pointed out the gable stone. I adore the red shutters. Very nice, and I see lots of bicycles, too.
