Koopmansbeurs, Trading exchange building in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The Koopmansbeurs features a central open trading floor surrounded by 42 columns, with dimensions of 60 meters in length and 35 meters in width.
Architect Hendrick de Keyser designed this structure in 1611 after studying the London Exchange, establishing Amsterdam's first dedicated trading center during the Dutch Golden Age.
Merchants gathered daily at designated spots within the exchange to conduct transactions, forming a structured trading system that influenced European commerce.
The building operated as Amsterdam's main trading center for over 200 years until structural issues from ground subsidence led to its closure and demolition.
Each trader maintained a specific position on the trading floor, with corner men specializing in particular types of transactions, creating an organized trading system.
