It is the middle of the three main canals of the Amsterdam canal belt and lies outside the Herengracht and inside the Prinsengracht. The Keizersgracht was first laid out in 1612 and completed to its current length in 1658. It is named after the Roman-German Emperor Maximilian I (1459-1519) and is the widest canal in central Amsterdam. Like the entire inner city, this street of the Keizersgracht is characterized by the typical patrician houses of Amsterdam with their unique variety of facades.
