Huis aan de Drie Grachten

The Huis aan de Drie Grachten is a double house in Dutch Renaissance style.

[1][2] In 1909, the building underwent large-scale renovations under the supervision of the architect Jan de Meijer.

He aimed to restore the building to its original 17th-century state, basing himself on a contemporary painting of the house by Gerrit Berckheyde which is now in the collection of the Amsterdam Museum.

During the Second World War, the bookstore was used to clandestinely print and publish works of poetry and other literature.

[4] The publishing house Uitgeverij Huis aan de Drie Grachten held office in the building for decades.
