Description
View of a boat on the canal, through the rippled and distorted antique glass window of the Van Loon residence.
Museum Van Loon in Amsterdam is one of the last great houses in Amsterdam to be occupied by a leading old family, descendants of Willem van Loon (1537-1618), one of the founders of the Dutch East India Company. It is a traditional Dutch canal house, built in 1671, with a garden and coach house, later converted to an automobile garage, behind the main house with street access. It is still owned by the Van Loon family and used by its family members. It is open to the public however there areas that are off limits. Visitors can enter the kitchen, the garden, beautiful reception rooms, and climb the stairs up to the private quarters on the first floor. As always in a Dutch canal house, the kitchen is in the basement, the reception rooms are on the ground floor, the bedrooms are on the second floor, and servant quarters are in the attic. All rooms are beautifully furnished and decorated as they would have been centuries ago.
