Quick visit to The Canal House (Het Grachtenhuis) in Amsterdam. About The Canal House (Het Grachtenhuis) The Canal House (Het Grachtenhuis) tells the story of the ring of canals in Amsterdam. It illustrates why the area of the ring of canals is so unique, and why it is still so alive after 400 years. Although it is the most important tourist attraction in the Netherlands, with some 3 million visitors a year, its story has not been told before in such a way. The granting of the UNESCO world heritage status to the area in August 2010 makes the story even more relevant. The 17th century ring of canals is an international icon of architecture and city planning. Multimedia story by Kossmann.dejong. For more visit hetgrachtenhuis.nl
