Bushuis, Architectural structure in central Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Bushuis features pointed arches, tall glass windows, and decorative canopies that exemplify the neo-Gothic architectural style of the Netherlands.
Built in the mid-16th century as an artillery depot, the Bushuis later became the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company from 1603.
The building houses the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Amsterdam, connecting education with the historical heritage of the Dutch Golden Age.
Located at Kloveniersburgwal 48, the Bushuis offers guided tours and maintains regular opening hours for visitors interested in Dutch colonial architecture.
The grand meeting chamber, restored to its original condition in 1976, displays the exact setting where the Heeren XVII managed global maritime trade.
