Beautiful and above all peaceful spot in a busy city centre. If you find your way here, respect the ambience of the place.

Robin Bertels

This should be a quiet and peaceful place , a hidden gem where you can escape the hectic city life. Definitely worth a visit but during the summer season it gets pretty crowded by tourists .

back in the past..the residents were woman who took a vow of poverty&helped others.They lived here until the they died off,but still today single women live here.stay quiet and feel the "calmness "!

Thomas Defise

Hidden gem within Amsterdam.You need to find the entry for visitors, as most entry on Google Map or similar application list also the entries for local leaving there.

Interesting courtyard containing the oldest house in Amsterdam and a church that you can visit - worth checking out while you’re in Amsterdam!

Quiet escape from the bustling city . Beautiful and historic little community you must visit in Amsterdam.

The Legend says that sister Cornelia Arens chose to be buried in the gutter of the court.But she was buried in the Chapel ,so her soul found no peace ,roamed the court until she was buried in the gutter

It's nice and peaceful . The church also does services in English if you want to go to a service while you're in Amsterdam

Pretty little hidden mini-neighborhood to walk through in central Amsterdam.

Marc Brouwer

It is a beautiful old place in middle Amsterdam where time stopped! And still only ladies live here! Try to join if possible a concert in the English church if you can!

Boon Koh

There are real residents living in the houses, so you are not allowed to take pictures, and don't make too much noise.

Henry T

Amazingly peaceful location so central and yet so calm . Great little find

Uma espécie de "jardim secreto" no centro de Amsterdã. Antigamente era uma comunidade de freiras. Vc entra por uma porta , parece que vc vai entrar num prédio e tem uma vila bem conservada e linda!

Vicente Martinez

Maravilloso lugar. Se respira tranquilidad en cada rincón. El contraste con el bullicio de las calles adyacentes es brutal. A destacar la casa más antigua de la ciudad, las iglesias , los jardines ...

Ângelo Miguel Geraldo

A tranquilidade caracteriza os inúmeros 'hofjes' (abrigos sociais) que compõem este frondoso oásis . Os pátios pavimentados que os rodeiam parecem um verdadeiro cenário de filme .

Simay Düzenli

Amsterdam evlerinin olduğu mükemmel görülmeye değer yer yalnız girişi çok fantastik bulmakta zorlandım ama mutlaka Amsterdam'a geldiyseniz burayı görmeden dönmeyin

Arianna 🦁

Una passeggiata carina in un comprensorio ora residenziale ma un tempo alloggio delle cosiddette Beghine, donne sole e devote che decidevano di vivere insieme in piccole case vicine.

Esra Ycr

Eskiden rahibelerin günümüzde bekar ve dullarin yaşadığı bir avlu. Çooook sessiz aman kimseyi rahatsız etmeyin. Amsterdam in en eski evi de bu avluda ayrıca.

Sandie Didie

Pour profiter de ce lieu si joli... Tentez les horaires décalés car beaucoup d'affluence... Au printemps tout y est fleuri et vert

Carlos Viola

Um dos lugares mais belos de Amsterdã fica escondido mas vale a pena procurar e visitar

Sebahattin Ünal

Gizli bir dünya, önünde işleyen caddeler cafeler ama minicik bir kapıdan açılan manevi bir huzur dünyası
