Established in 1612, the Herengracht is one of three major canals in central Amsterdam. With its beautiful Golden Bend stretch, stately mansions and interior gardens, it has long been one of the trendiest spots in the city. To this day, many of the most chic places to live in the Dutch capital are located along this canal.

The Herengracht is the second canal in the row of Singel, Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht. Together these form the so-called canal belt. The Herengracht was created from 1612.
