    It is a shame that the birthplace has been demolished, but it is a beautiful historic place.

    Rembrandt lived on Rembrandtplein (De Schildersplaats, popularly known as Weddesteegplein, which was renamed Rembrandtplaats in April 2006) until 1631.
    A plaque on his "birthplace" dates from 1906.


    You can find a beautiful artwork by Stephan Balkenhol there: inspired by Rembrandt's self-portrait in his Leiden studio from 1629. The young Rembrandt looks at the easel, which bears a bronze relief of a self-portrait.
    On the wall behind the easel hangs another portrait of Rembrandt, made of ceramic.
