Prinsengrachtziekenhuis, 19th century hospital in central Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The Prinsengrachtziekenhuis spans five stories with red-tiled hipped roofs and features brick construction on a natural stone foundation along Prinsengracht canal.

Built between 1854 and 1857 by architect J.H. Leliman, this private hospital served wealthy citizens and operated as a medical training facility for nurses.

The building represents a shift in medical care standards, as it was established as a Protestant institution following a cholera epidemic in Amsterdam.

The structure underwent multiple expansions, including an 1872 wing along Kerkstraat and additional extensions in 1890 and 1902, before becoming office space in 2019.

The central entrance displays a round-arched portal with a pediment, while the facade incorporates plastered cordons and decorative cornices between floor levels.
