Beautiful fortification tower built in 1516. 100 years later the tower was no longer used for its original function and a turret with a clock was added by architect Henrick de Keyser. The tower is called Malle Jaap which means "Dumb Jaap" in Dutch. It refers to the fact that the bell of the tower and the clock never worked in unison.

Nice building. At the light festival season from December till January very nice nightlight. Even more impressive with the view from the water

The Montelbaanstoren is a tower on bank of the Oudeschans – a canal in Amsterdam. The original tower was built in 1516 as part of the Walls of Amsterdam for the purpose of defending the city and the harbour. The top half, designed by Hendrick de Keyser, was extended to its current, decorative form in 1606. Since then the tower has been 48m tall.

Beautiful tower next to the canal.

Beautiful tower from the 16th century

Beautiful tower up and high above the canals.

Such an incredible monument to the history of Amsterdam.

Amsterdam has many wonderful historical buildings to see and this is one of them - the tower. Its shape is quite unique and the location provides a bevvy of glorious photos along the canal. One can walk by this and take photographs on foot, but Its recommend to take a boat tour and see it up close from the water.

Amsterdam slower pace then Paris and London. Is it a must? if you have the time yes. Great experience

So Beautiful! Even better by water at night!

Loved the tower. I loved the view.. and I saw a little girl sketching the tower it was amazing

Nice and quiet place with an old town on one side and Docklands with a Scientist museum on the othe side.

If you walk around Amsterdam step by step like me then you can see here and others abd take a brake with a coffe on bullewart cafes.

This tower is haunted. I mean...who rings the bells all the time? I wish I could go in and explore, that is why it is missing a star.

Beautiful tower also nice history must read!

Beautiful old landmark in Amsterdam Center I even found a parking place under the tower!

Torni jökötti kanaalin rannalla. Kellokin oli suhkot ajassa. Ei päässyt sisälke

Nice belltower, keeps me up at night though

(Original) Mooie historische toren van oud Amsterdam, aan het begin van de Oudeschans, op de hoek van de Oude Waal. Hij is een baken in de stad om je aan te oriënteren.

It is picturesque. Many pictures have been taken at this location from the nearby bridge or from a boat.

Almost in the centre of the city, great view from the other side of the canal, always great to have a stroll here all year round!

Pretty nice.

Beautiful view.

Great shopping values. The downtown next to the central train station is closed for traffic and houses thousands of high level shopping stores with great restaurants and play area for the kids. Almere is a short train ride from Amsterdam worth the trip!

(Translated by Google) Montelbaan - for the first time together in her tower light with my bonus brother. Here the Hertogjannetjes © tasted just that little bit lighter and fresher than we have been used to for ten years since that very first sip. Monty understood us immediately, welcomed us with open arms and gave us a hefty elbow👊 upon departure. Eelco + Daniël shall return to #Montelbaantower Amsterdam. (Original) Montelbaan - voor het allereerst samen in haar torenlicht met mijn bonusbroer.

Monty begreep ons meteen, ontving ons met open armen en gaf ons bij vertrek een fikse elbow👊. Eelco + Daniël shall return to #Montelbaantower Amsterdam.
