Both historically and architecturally, Amsterdam-Noord is a unique part of the city of Amsterdam. With its 19th-century dyke cottages, garden suburbs, the industrial heritage of the former shipyards, the postwar modernism of the famous Plan Van Gool estate and contemporary architecture, such as the Kraanspoor office building and EYE Film Institute Netherlands, Noord (North) has it all.
