The Stadhouderskade, seen from the Rijksmuseum
Summary
How different Amsterdam looked 120 years ago, as seen through Heinen’s lens. He took this photograph from the Rijksmuseum’s western middle tower in the direction of the Leidseplein. Where Heinen saw the House of Detention – Anne Frank would later be imprisoned there – is now a casino. What was once the Church of the Free Congregation now houses Paradiso, a music venue and night club since 1968.
