The history of the 'Langestraat' (The Long Street):

After the long war with Spain during the 16th century Amsterdam experienced the largest economic boom ever seen in the World. In order to cope with the surge of new inhabitants, the city of Amsterdam expanded to the west by building the 'Keizersgracht', 'Prinsengracht' and now the most popular visited area known as the 'Jordaan'. The 'Langestraat' exists between the former city walls and the new created canals - the 'Herengracht', 'Browersgracht' and 'Singel'.

During that time it was one of the longest streets in Amsterdam and that is how it was named the 'Langestraat' which means 'The Long Street'. Houses here were mainly used as homes for the richest merchants, later to be used for all kind of small businesses. Nowadays it is reminder of a typical small street of old Amsterdam. Walking down the street you can still imagine that you are back in the 17th century known as the Golden Age of Amsterdam.
