Begijnhof 34 - Oldest house in Amsterdam (1420)

Het Houten Huis (No. 34 on the left) is Amsterdam's oldest house, dating from around 1420. It is one of only two wooden-front houses in the city, as timber houses were banned in 1521 after a series of catastrophic fires. Most of the houses in the Begijnhof were not built until after the 16th century.

On the right you see a house built in 1744 with a brick facade and embellished roof. This style got popular around that time and is the kind of style you still see all around old cities in the Netherlands.
