Huis Aan De Drie Grachten

The Huis Aan De Drie Grachten stands out at the intersection of three canals, easily identified by the five classic stepped gables along its long facade. Built in sixteen ten, this structure holds the rare distinction of facing three separate waterways simultaneously. It served as a private residence for wealthy merchants during the city's golden age. In the nineteen hundreds, the Dutch resistance used the building to distribute underground newspapers, hiding printing presses and illicit documents behind its heavy, historic brick walls.
