The house is very unique, gothic architecture with interesting windows placement. This is one of the two wooden houses that survived a series of fires 500 years ago. This building was build approximately in 1425. Amazing to see, but it is a private residence so you can’t go inside. The enclosure courtyard where it is located is beautiful and well maintained. You won’t believe you are in the city center of Amsterdam, it’s so peaceful and quiet.

Historic house in a beautiful setting. I wish there was a sign with more information about the house.

Oldest wooden house in the Begijnhof enclave. This House number 34 survived the great amsterdam fire of 1452 which had destroyed 2/3rd of Amsterdam city it seems. Wooden houses were subsequently banned due to repetitive fires in the city. Hence one of the unique piece of Amsterdam history

One of the last 2 wooden houses in Amsterdam. Right at one of the entrances of the Begijnhof, so easy to find.
