    (Translated by Google) A beautiful place of a very interesting story. It is a very old neighborhood in Amsterdam, in fact the black house is the oldest, the same one that was saved from a fire and remains until now. Its catholic church camouflaged in a front facade in front of a very old Calvinist chapel. It is a very charming and typical town house. (Original) Un hermoso lugar de una historia muy interesante. Es un barrio muy antiguo en Amsterdam, de hecho la casa color negro es la más antigua, la misma que se salvó de un incendio y permanece hasta ahora. Su iglesia católica camuflada en una mostrara fachada frente a una capilla calvinista muy antigua. Es un caserón muy encantador y típico de la ciudad.

    One of the interesting things to see at Vondelpark is the large monument to 17th-century Dutch playwright Joost van den Vondel. This monument is the work of Dutch sculptor Louis Royer (1867) who also created the Rembrandt statue at Rembrandt Square. Here you find a bronze statue of a middle-aged Vondel, seated with a book in one hand and a pen in the other. The statue is atop a decorative plinth that was created by important 19th-century Dutch architect, Pierre Cuypers and includes gold engravings and four angels. There is a large circular base that is surrounded by flower beds. The monument is a nice depiction of Vondel for whom the park was later named and is worth making time to see if you plan to visit the northeast area of Vondelpark.

    Walked in the park for some time. Very relaxing atmosphere and recommended to spend a quiet time alone or with others. Getting by transportation is easy just be ware of any construction work in the area if coming by car.

    Joost van den Vondel (Dutch: [ˈjoːst fɑn dəɱ ˈvɔndəl]; 17 November 1587 – 5 February 1679) was the Dutch national poet, as well as an essayist, and playwright. He is widely considered the best poet of the 17th-century Dutch Golden Age and the pinnacle of Dutch literature. Vondel remained productive until a very old age. Several of his most notable plays like Lucifer (play) [nl] and Adam in Exile [nl] were written after 1650, when he was already 65, and his final play Noah (play) [nl], written at the age of eighty, is considered one of his finest. His plays are the ones from that period that are still most frequently performed, and his epic Joannes de Boetgezant (1662), on the life of John the Baptist, has been called the greatest Dutch epic.

    A big statue in the centre of the park. No flowers around it when we visited but it looked like there would be soon. Birds obviously enjoy excreting on his head.

    Statue in honor of the writer Joost van den Vondel who lived in the 17th century inside Voldpark

    Located in the VondelParken this statue provides an ideal location to rest. The statue is surrounded by a diverse arrangement of flowers and shrubs. There is also a pond close by which is nice to look at. I would recommend this as a suitable location for eating cake and/or lunch. There are also plenty of bins near by.

    Really nice statue in Vondelpark. You can see it at one end of an open area in the park, and people sometimes just come and sit next to it. There's an inscription on each side of the pedestal on which the statue stands, and the flowers in the area around it are probably very pretty in the spring. Great location in the park!

    Great park in the middle of Amsterdam. Really an experience. There are currently a lot of construction sites and sometimes it could be a little better maintained.

    (Translated by Google) This house, located at number 34 of the beautiful community of Begijnhof, is reputed to be the oldest in Amsterdam, its construction being estimated according to some sources in 1420, being one of the only two wooden constructions that still stand in the city; the other is a house in Zeedijk. Since the foundation of Amsterdam almost all houses were built in wood, but due to the large number of fires that were produced, in 1521 the City Council made the decision to prohibit construction on this material, forcing from that moment to build in brick. The date of 1528 is indicated on the facade of the house itself, a year that is surprising, since, as has been pointed out, the ban on the construction of wooden houses was in force seven years previously. In any case, traditionally the Houten Huys has been inhabited by single women, members of the congregation of the Beguines. We will have to settle for seeing its facade, since it is private property; for this we must access the courtyard of Begijnhof, which is open every day from 08.00 to 17.30. Access is free. (Original) Esta casa, ubicada en el número 34 de la bonita comunidad de Begijnhof, tiene fama de ser la más antigua de Amsterdam, estimándose su construcción según algunas fuentes en 1420, siendo una de las dos únicas construcciones de madera que aún permanecen en pie en la ciudad; la otra es una casa en Zeedijk. Desde la fundación de Amsterdam casi todas las casas eran construidas en madera, pero debido a la gran cantidad de incendios que se producían, en 1521 el Ayuntamiento tomó la decisión de prohibir la construcción en este material, obligando desde ese momento a construir en ladrillo. En la propia fachada de la casa se indica la fecha de 1528, año que resulta sorprendente, ya que, como se ha señalado, desde siete años antes estaba vigente la prohibición de construir viviendas de madera. En cualquier caso, tradicionalmente la Houten Huys ha sido habitada por mujeres solteras, miembros de la congregación de las beguinas. Tendremos que conformarnos con ver su fachada, ya que es propiedad privada; para ello debemos acceder al patio de Begijnhof, que permanece abierto todos los días de 08.00 a 17.30 horas. El acceso es gratuito.

    (Translated by Google) When Jozef Alberdingk Thijm, Pierre Cuypers and theirs placed this statue in the late nineteenth century, they would not have foreseen that it would be used as a gullwing bin. Result: the head of the Netherland's biggest poet is permanently smeared with white birdcage. Where does the municipality stay to solve this ??? (Original) Toen Jozef Alberdingk Thijm, Pierre Cuypers en de hunnen dit beeld in de late negentiende eeuw plaatsten hadden ze vast niet voorzien dat het gebruikt zou worden als meeuwenschijtbak. Resultaat: de kop van de Neerlands grootste dichter is permanent met witte vogelkak besmeurd. Waar blijft de gemeente om dit op te lossen???

    (Translated by Google) One of the statues within the Vondelpark I was to see this statue with my girlfriend during our vacation in Amsterdam. The work is located inside the Voldelpark and is surrounded by a myriad of tulips that during the flowering season create a beautiful and very suggestive optical effect. At the foot of the statue there is a large bench where you can rest and sunbathe. (Original) Una delle statue all'interno di Voldelpark Sono stato a vedere questa statua con la mia ragazza durante la nostra vacanza ad Amsterdam. L'opera si trova all'interno del Voldelpark ed è circondata da una miriade di tulipani che durante la stagione della fioritura creano un effetto ottico bellissimo e molto suggestivo. Ai piedi della statua c'è una grande panchina su cui ci si può riposare e prendere il sole.

    (Translated by Google) It is the oldest house that is preserved in a different neighborhood than what you can see in Amsterdam. Very quiet and a beautiful place to take a walk and enjoy the buildings. The church is also worth visiting.
