The Singel Canal is the most centrally located major canal. Next are the Herengracht, the Keizersgracht and the Prinsengracht. To have two adjoining state monuments on the Singel from the 17th and 18th century is unique of course. These two buildings are horizontally connected and are the home of 3 spectacular apartments, 2 cosy studio apartments and 1 great souterrain apartment. Each apartment has its own entry from the central staircase in Singel 326. One of the original names of the Singel was the Koningsgracht, the Kings Canal.

Among the tenants in the 18th century was a retired captain of the Dutch East Indies Company with his housekeeper. Amsterdam was the nerve centre of that famous multinational. On December 31st 1846 the famous Domela Nieuwenhuis was born at Singel 328. Housing contracts on file with the city go back as far as 1591. The two buildings were converted into apartments by the current owner in 1987 thru 1988 The apartments have been the home away from home for many expatriates ever since.

All Amsterdam´s famous center has to offer is within walking distance. From the apartment it is a five minute walk to the Amsterdam Royal Palace on the Dam Square , the famous Flower Market, the Anne Frankhuis, while the Leidse Plein, the Rembrandt Plein, the Central Station, the major museums such as the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum etc. and the Vondel Park are no further then ten to fifteen minutes on foot.

The apartments are for rent for a minimum of two months and a maximum of three years, however exceptions are made. Rent varies from € 990 for a studio apartment 40 m2 (440 sq. ft.) to € 5.250 for the largest apartment 300 m2 (3.300 sq. ft.). The rentals do not include utilities.

Digital TV reception and wireless Internet access are provided free of charge for the three larger apartments . Bicycles are for rent nearby. Home delivery of groceries etc. and all kinds of restaurant food is available.

Other than the obvious and the businesslike there is a lot more to tell about the buildings, the apartments and the city of course. One of the things that surprise most people from abroad that rent an apartment in the centre of Amsterdam is the fact that you do not need a car to get around. That does not mean that you take a cab, it means you walk, bicycle, moped if you will. And if you wish, a boat in the canal in front of your apartment is a legitimate possibility. All the canals are part of the Amsterdam public harbour. You can buy a boat, get a marina permit (very cheap, less than € 100,- a year) park the boat in front of your apartment and go all over the Netherlands with it. The author of this site has done that hundreds of times. The canals, summertime, early evening while it stays light till 11 p.m., a cold bottle of white wine, something to munch on and good company. That's magic.

In the 19th century the apple market was across the water from Singel 326-328. Talking about boats, take a look at the picture below. Obtained from the City Archives.

More than anything else, the maritime history, Amsterdam's association with the sea, has shaped the city. Literally. Many of the canals have been filled and are now roads or tramways. Fortunately the actual lay-out of the most important harbour in the world in the 17th century has been saved. Take a look at any aerial photo of the city and the message is clear. Or better yet, come see it for yourself, your apartment is waiting for you!
