Singel 118-E1015 AE AmsterdamLeliegracht e.o.

Spacious and very bright three-room apartment of 65 m² located on the third and fourth floors of the historic canal house, the former auction house ‘De Zon’, with a magnificent view. A building with history! The building originally dates back to 1609 and was known as the house 'where the sun stands on the roof'. In 1663, the building was sold by the then owner, the widow of Mayor Geelvinck, to a group of Mennonites who had separated from the main church in 1660. The new congregation adopted the house name De Zon as its name. A large clandestine church was built behind the building, a gallery church with three barrel vaults, where the two smaller vaults were supported by Doric columns that also supported the galleries. After 1823, Amsterdam's first private auction house was established in the clandestine church. To this end, the building on the canal was renovated in 1854 according to a design by W.A. Froger. The church space was divided in two: the lower section became a viewing room, with the auction hall above. In 1988, the auction house was converted into apartments, but the important rooms and the vault were preserved.
