Bloemgracht

In the 17th century the "Herengracht of the Jordaan," as the Bloemgracht was called, was home to paint and sugar factories, and a large number of fine gabled houses, such as the Renaissance-style De Drie Hendricken. Many artists also lived on Bloemgracht, including Jurriaan Andriessen, whose work is displayed in the Rijksmuseum.
