History:
The history of Herengracht 5 is steeped in heritage. Built in 1644 as a luxurious merchant's house with the distinctive layout of a warehouse on the upper floors, the original seventeenth-century structure underwent a transformation in 1889 into the classic residential house we know today, consisting of four refined apartments. The expansive property underwent subdivision in 2018, with the front foundation, restored in the same year, being in excellent condition. Amsterdam is globally renowned for its rich historic center, which was honored with UNESCO World Heritage status in 2010. It comes as no surprise that Herengracht is one of the primary spots within this extraordinary heritage.
