Wester-Amstel

House

The House

As Mayor of Amsterdam, Nicolaas Pancras was priviledged (and wealthy) enough to build a luxurious version of a typical 17th century farmhouse. The house was truly a haven, but nothing stays the same forever. In its lifetime, Wester-Amstel has tried on quite a few looks. From an empire facade in the 18th century, to a mask of disrepair in the 20th century… Luckily in 1990, the revitalization of Wester-Amstel’s house and grounds began. So when you visit, you'll get to see the estate in all its glory.
