Huis aan de Drie Grachten, 17th-century canal house in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The building extends along three different canals with characteristic stepped gables crowning each of its three Renaissance-style facades.
Constructed around 1610, the house underwent substantial renovation in 1909 under architect Jan de Meijer to restore its original appearance.
From 1936, the building housed a bookstore that secretly printed literature during World War II, with documents later found in a hidden compartment.
Located at Oudezijds Voorburgwal 249, the house stands at the intersection of Grimburgwal, Oudezijds Voorburgwal, and Oudezijds Achterburgwal canals.
Archaeological studies revealed that certain elements of the structure date back to the mid-16th century, predating the main construction period.
