Authentic canal house of over 206 m² on the broad Geldersekade. The property is divided into a front and back house and has five full-fledged residential floors. There is also a spacious attic. The bel-etage is over 4.5 meters high and offers a beautiful view of the quay. The national monument exudes the nostalgia of a rich past, and the existing layout is very suitable for a modern home.
Design Vision The Geldersekade is part of the city canal dug in the late 15th century, forming the city canal together with the Kloveniersburgwal and the Singel. The building at Geldersekade 18 originally consisted of two houses, numbers 16 and 18. In 1601, homeowner Roemer Visscher possibly converted the former houses into a residence and two warehouses. There is also storage at the Oudezijds Kolk. In 1641, herb dealer and sailmaker Abraham Pietersz Croock built a new building, seven bays wide. In the meantime, the building has served as a Catholic home chapel.
In 1886, Ruys and Co. was established there. They replaced the facade, and the lower facade was clad with stone slabs. The wide sidewalk also gained an extra function and became more integrated with the building.

History
The Geldersekade is a part of the city canal, dug at the end of the 15th century, which, along with the Kloveniersburgwal and the Singel, formed the city’s canal. The building at Geldersekade 18 originally consisted of two properties, numbers 16 and 18. In 1601, property owner Roemer Visscher possibly had the former properties renovated into a residence and two warehouses. Additionally, there was storage along the Oudezijds Kolk. In 1641, spice trader and sailmaker Abraham Pietersz Croock built a new property, an impressive seven bays wide. At one point, the building served as a Catholic home chapel.
In 1886, Ruys en Co established their presence. They replaced the front facade, and the lower section was clad with natural stone slabs. The broad sidewalk also gained additional functionality and became more integrated with the property.
