Oud-Zuid: The 100 most beautiful listed buildings in Oud-Zuid

The coffee table book 'Oud-Zuid: The 100 most beautiful national monumental buildings in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid' takes you on a journey through time and the streets of Oud-Zuid. The book is a collection of the hundred most iconic national monuments that define the character and soul of this neighborhood. Be enchanted by the stories, the details and the splendor of a neighborhood where history and architecture go hand in hand.

When you cross the elegant archway under the Rijksmuseum from the lively downtown, a world of timeless beauty unfolds. Welcome to Oud-Zuid, an Amsterdam neighborhood designed with vision and finesse in the late nineteenth century. Here you will find a harmony of stately parks, wide avenues lined with trees, impressive villas, iconic world-class museums and a concert hall that has been among the international top for decades.

This neighborhood is a tangible result of an era of economic prosperity. As the inner city became overcrowded, wealthy Amsterdammers sought new space for their living and working lives in the southern part of the city. Each new building that arose here was entrusted to an architect who not only designed the exterior with an eye for detail, but often the interior as well. The result? A district that is a living museum of architectural styles: from art nouveau and art nouveau to neo-Renaissance and the characteristic Amsterdam School.
