Ouderkerk aan de Amstel Canals and Windmill De Zwaan

Highlight • Settlement

Ouderkerk aan de Amstel is a wonderfully quiet town with cozy terraces and good restaurants. Visit the beautiful churches, the parish houses and the windmill De Zwaan. In Ouderkerk aan de Amstel you will also find Beth Haim, the oldest Jewish cemetery in the Netherlands, which dates back to 1614.

Ouderkerk aan de Amstel

Highlight • Settlement

The Jagershuis (originally 1614) used to be a meeting place for the hunters who used their horses to pull the barges on the towpath along the Amstel. It is a magnificent, monumental building, situated right on the water and part of the protected village area Ouderkerk aan de Amstel (Amstelveen).

The earliest records of 't Jagershuis date back to the 17th century. The pub was originally called De Rustende Jager (The Hunter) and later Buitenlust. The name 't Jagershuis dates back to the 20th century. It was only after a thorough renovation in 1964 that it acquired its current appearance and purpose as a restaurant-hotel. It is on the list of national monuments. It consists of two gables with a wing attached at right angles and, according to the register of monuments, dates from the 18th century. In February 2017, the building was threatened with being removed from the list of national monuments because architectural research had revealed that it had been completely remodeled between 1963 and 1966 and had "no intrinsic monumental value".

In the meantime, the monument status is no longer legally disputed. The owner of 't Jagershuis is working on the renovation of the building while preserving its monument protection.

Amstelzijde

Highlight • Restaurant

Here you will find many cozy restaurants and cafes with a beautiful view. The Amstel side was an important staging point in the 17th century, now it is mainly a pleasant neighbourhood. The catering industry in particular determines the image of the Amstel side, which is why it is so nice to take a break here with a snack and a drink. For example at Loetje aan de Amstel or Ron Gastrobar Indonesia: your taste buds will thank you.

Fort bij Uithoorn (Defence Line of Amsterdam)

Highlight • Historical Site

Fort bij Uithoorn, also known as Fort Amstelhoek, is striking because of the two buildings with lifting turret guns that are connected to the fort via a corridor. Original elements such as wooden partitions and a telegraph room have been preserved. Built in 1911, the fort defended strategic points along the Amstel and a railway.

Today the fort is under development but open for tours and meetings by appointment.
