Narrowest House

Thinner inner

Singel 7
Amsterdam 1012 VC
+31 (0)20 551 2512 (Tourist Information)

The Narrowest House in Amsterdam is also one of the narrowest houses in the world. At only one meter wide, this house is just barely wider than the front door. The houses in Amsterdam are built in this narrow fashion because of the soft soil that they are built on. All of the houses are actually leaning on each other to stay upright.
