In
Leeuwarden you have to look up. Above the windows of all the
shops you will find beautifully adorned facades. These can
sometimes inform you about how the buildings were formerly
used. Tools, Greek Gods and animals, they all beautify the
fronts of many old buildings.
“Over de Kelders” is the street that has a lower part called
“Bierkade” (Beerquay) a dock in the canal for unloading boats. This is
where you can now sit on a terrace and enjoy the canal and its
surrounding houses. And where you can meet an historically
significant person from Leeuwarden. |
