The Kromboomssloot, or Krom Boomssloot, is a canal in the Lastage (Nieuwmarktbuurt) neighborhood in the center of Amsterdam.

At this bend there is a square with benches and a pillar-shaped artwork by Wim Tap from 1989.

Both the Kromboomssloot and Rechtboomssloot were originally ditches that were commissioned by Cornelis Boom to be widened into canals to connect his shipyard on the Lastage with the IJ.

In 1994 the municipality proposed a plan to dig up the trees on the Kromboomssloot and Rechtboomssloot.

Schottenburch has a gable stone with the date 1636, but the building can already be seen on the city map of Amsterdam from 1595 made by Pieter Bast.

After this, the complex was converted into apartments, whereby the densely built up inner gardens were opened up again and the original rear facades were restored.
