Coymanshuis, Canal house at Keizersgracht, Netherlands.

The Coymanshuis features a double-wide design with pilaster facades under straight lists, located at number 177 along the Keizersgracht canal in Amsterdam.

Built in 1625 for traders Balthasar and Johannes Coymans, this canal house represents architect Jacob van Campen's first architectural project in Amsterdam.

This Dutch Golden Age mansion demonstrates the architectural preferences and lifestyle of wealthy 17th-century Amsterdam merchants involved in silver and iron trade.

The building currently serves as the Netherlands headquarters of Amnesty International, maintaining its relevance through modern organizational use.

The construction earned recognition in the 1631 publication Architectura Moderna, where authors recommended it as an essential visit for architecture enthusiasts.
