Vijzelbank, Commercial building in central Amsterdam, Netherlands

The Vijzelbank, located between Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht canals, stands as a multi-story concrete and glass structure with a street-level retail gallery.

Constructed in 1973 by architect Marius Duintjer, the building replaced residential structures from the 1920s that collapsed in 1955 and were demolished in 1962.

The building served as ABN AMRO bank headquarters until 1999, after which it transformed into a workspace for independent artists and small cultural enterprises.

The building contains flexible office spaces, retail areas, and connects to neighboring structures through an underground passage called Poentunnel beneath Keizersgracht.

Following its renovation in 2013, the structure changed names from Vijzelbank to Duintjer CS and finally to Prins en Keizer in 2014.
