Borse van Amsterdam

This hall was demolished in 1629 to make way for the current building, built from 1630 to 1634 by the architect Jan du Can or by the architect Gaspar Van der Moesen. Originally used as an orphanage, the building is occupied from 1663 until the end of the xviii th  century by the rhetoric chamber Barbarakamer (literary society, rederijkerskamer in Dutch).

The building has been classified as a historical monument since September 27, 1945and appear in the Inventory of immovable heritage of the Flemish Region under the reference 60.

Today, it houses a very classy and highly popular restaurant.
