In
1739 the outside
of this canal
house was redesigned
to look as it
does today, in
the highly fashionable
Louis XIV style.
Its last residents
were Abraham Willet
(1825-1888) and
his wife Louisa
Holthuysen (1824-1895).
Louisa left a
will leaving this
17th-century canal
house to the city
of Amsterdam,
on condition the
house became a
museum, together
with all that
stood in it, including
the sizeable art
collection made
by her late husband,
Abraham Willet.
The house has
been turned into
a beautiful museum
that keeps alive
the name of her
family.
Nowadays the house
gives an interesting
impression of
how the wealthy
family Willet
lived in the 19th
century, showing
the large collection
of silverware,
plate, and books
from the Dutch
Golden Age and
a substantial
collection of
art.
The house has
a magnificent
ballroom, a dining
room and a room
looking out over
the beautiful
French formal
garden, a romantic
bedroom. The blue
room has several
decorative paintings
by Jacob de Wit.
The tour includes
the house and
the garden.
