Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 282, Amsterdam, Historical theater near Dam Square, Netherlands

Theater De Richel occupies a six-window wide building with a straight cornice supported by seven consoles at Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 282 in Amsterdam.

The structure, dating from 1725, served as the residence of Amsterdam Mayor Hendrick Bicker before becoming a school and later transforming into a theater in 1963.

The venue, formerly known as Betty Asfalt Complex, presents theatrical performances and events in an intimate setting with a capacity of 120 seats.

Visitors can reach the theater via tram lines 2, 11, 12, 13, 17, or bus line 284, with stops at Dam or Spui, just minutes from the entrance.

During World War II, this building provided sanctuary to over 100 individuals escaping Nazi persecution through the efforts of resident Tineke Strobos.
