Mint Tower (Munttoren) is a historic structure in central Amsterdam, situated at Muntplein, where the Singel Canal pours into the Amstel River. This was originally a gate that formed part of the city. It was built in 1480. Unfortunately, the the gate was badly damaged by fire in 1618, leaving only the guard house and part of the original tower. Dutch architect, Hendrick de Keyser, rebuilt the tower in 1620,in Dutch Renaissance style, including a clock face and carillon of bells, which can still be heard to this day. Interestingly, the tower building was used as a mint in the late 17th century, giving it the name it is referred to today. Now, you'll find a Royal Delft earthenware shop occupying the bottom floor of the Munttoren. Fans of architecture and historic buildings will enjoy seeing Munttoren, which can be quickly and conveniently viewed while sightseeing in the Eastern Canal Ring area of the city.

Its a very good place. Tourist are visit there and I also like the place. Thanks.

Great place if you are looking for souvenirs! You will find almost most of the same in every store, but cheaper than other areas of the city.

Lovely tower in the heart of Amsterdam, originally a defensive building. I did not go to the top but from the outside the building was excellent. Particularly adds to the city's character.

A beautiful tower with a bell system that was built in 1620 and was originally part of the city walls, along with The Wagg gate that is now in the Chinatown area

(Translated by Google) Very nice (Original) Sehr schön

(Translated by Google) Busy, comfortable (Original) Muy transitado, comodo

Interesting tower. Known as the Milk Tower also. It is just near the flower market and was where the new and old parts met. You can just go look at it, no access though.

since I was a little boy, I know the mint tower All so quiet now in Amsterdam

(Translated by Google) Old tower from 1620. (Original) Oude toren van 1620.

Last old remains of a once beautiful piece of Amsterdam, the ugly high buildings being built after WWII when the whole block was destroyed by a crashed allied bomberplane and the fire it caused. Anne Frank happily writes about it in her diary. It crashed on an important building for the German army, the now rebuilt Carlton hotel. So/but the whole area was already reconstructed for modern transport. The Vijzelgracht already being a street in stead of a Canal.

Beautiful clocktower in the center of Amsterdam, it’s a landmark here you don’t want to miss.

Very beautiful. It locates at center of Amsterdam. It is not conflict to you plan if you already have plan to visit Amsterdam. If you want to shop here. You can take some photos here. The view of this spot is like a combination of history and modern.

Picturesque part of the city ... lovely flower market to wander around with plenty of tourist souvenirs. Very pretty.

It is one of the most outstanding structures in downtown Amsterdam, ideal for some good photoshooting.

Striking architecture. Makes for a great photo opportunity. Located next to a cool flower stall

A good looking medieval tower in the middle of the city of amsterdam.

This tower is very near to the famous floating flower market of Amsterdam

The Munttoren in Amsterdam is a sight to behold! The architecture is simply amazing, and the history behind it adds an extra layer of fascination. A must-see, blending stunning design with a rich backstory.

Beautiful historic tower in the center of the city. Below the tower there is a porcelain store.

The Munttoren, or Mint Tower is a former guard tower that used to be part of the old city's fortifications. It gets it's name from the house behind it, which used to be the building that minted coins in 17th Century Amsterdam. The most attractive feature of the tower is the carillon that still chimes every quarter of an hour. Not really a must-see. See because it's a landmark more than anything else.

(Translated by Google) The Munttoren, also known as De Munt, is officially called the Regulierstoren and used to be part of the Regulierspoort. This city gate was one of the three main gates of Amsterdam's medieval fortifications. The gate was named after the Reguliersklooster (1394-1532). This monastery was located at the later Keizersgracht outside the Regulierspoort. (Original) De Munttoren, ook wel De Munt genoemd, heet officieel Regulierstoren en maakte vroeger deel uit van de Regulierspoort. Deze stadspoort was een van de drie hoofdpoorten van de middeleeuwse vestingwerken van Amsterdam. De poort was genoemd naar het Reguliersklooster (1394-1532). Dit klooster stond ter hoogte van de latere Keizersgracht buiten de Regulierspoort.

Lovely place to walk around along the river bank. Best place to sit back and relax watching the birds. What a wonderful place to visit.

Good food, good service. They had a number of vegetarian choices. I had the Focaccia Intermezzo. The coffee was also nice. It was a bit noisy and kids were running around all over the restaurant, but of course that's not their fault.

Tourist attraction next to the flower market. Quite a nice area to explore.

Wonderful!

Iconic clock-tower, but I think the clock might actually be one minute fast?

Amsterdam has many old buildings scattered around the 'Chinatown' Asian quarter. A very bustling, touristy place with restaurants, stores, canals, flower, and trinkets section where you can buy Tulip bulbs and other seeds, souvenirs for bringing memories home. This Munttoren or clock tower is one of the buildings history buffs can see as they explore the whole area.

(Translated by Google) A nice modest tower with carillon on the Muntplein in Amsterdam. It marks the beginning of the Flower Market along the Singel. The tower is from the 15th century when Amsterdam was still a very modest city and is a historical part of the city walls along the Singel. (Original) Een leuke bescheiden toren met carillon op het Muntplein in Amsterdam. Hij markeert het begin van de Bloemenmarkt langs het Singel. De toren is uit de 15e eeuw toen Amsterdam nog een zeer bescheiden stad was en is een historisch onderdeel van de stadsmuren langs het Singel.

Absolutely awesome

nice building

Nice tower but no more.

Lovely historic tower in the centre of the city

The building seems to have historical significance, but there's not really any information about it or anything to explore, just another souvenir shop. You can see it on the way to basically anywhere else, I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

Very beautiful anticque tower next to The Flowers Market

A good place to walk by and njoi the beauty of the buildings and structures. A lot to shop by and also i bought some hash brownies.😊

It was dreamy in the evening with the lights on. 😍

Impressive building both outside and inside!

Excellent tuna sandwich!

Nice to visit and get a coffee from McDonalds inthe other side :)

Beautiful tower that still rings out. We passed it when we in a canal tour. It looked so great we walked and found it again to chill by and have a munch on some pizza. Worth checking out if your tour nearby, or even if your not. Lots of streets connect here with lots of shops in the area too.
