Munttoren and Muntplein Beautiful Tower Near Amstel River

Muntplein 12 Amsterdam 1012 WR +31 (0)20 201 8800 (Tourist information)

The western corner tower of the former Regulier's Gate was built around 1490. Regulier's Gate was part of the old town rampart. It became obsolete when the city expanded its borders southwards at the end of the sixteenth century. After the great fire of 1618, the lower part was left intact. The city allowed architect Hendrick de Keyser to reconstruct the wooden upper part. The brothers Hemony, famous for their bell-foundry, were commissioned to make the carillon. Review © 2009, Wcities
