NETHERLAND - Nieuwmarkt in 1905
Thanks to postcrosser Jolanda for the nice card and stamps. The card shows Nieuwmarkt in 1905 /Ladies love the crockery/ Building on the right were demolished in 1926/ Flesseman is now Senior citizens Centre.
"Nieuwmarkt (Dutch for "New Market" or "Newmarket") is a square in the centre of Amsterdam, Netherlands. The surrounding area is known as the Nieuwmarktbuurt (Nieuwmarkt district). It is situated in the borough of Amsterdam-Centrum.
The Nieuwmarkt is dominated by a building known as the Waag,[1] originally a gate in the Medieval city walls but converted into a weighing house after the walls were demolished in the 17th century. The square was created when the canals around the Waag were filled in 1614, and was used as a marketplace (hence the name). In World War II the square was used by the Nazis as a collection point for Jews who had been rounded up to be sent to the concentration camps."
