Zevenlandenhuizen, Architectural ensemble in Roemer Visscherstraat, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Seven connected houses stand side by side, each displaying architectural elements from different European countries including Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Russia, Netherlands, and England.
The architect Tjeerd Kuipers completed this architectural project in 1894 under the commission of philanthropist Sam van Eeghen to represent European architectural diversity.
Each building incorporates specific design elements, such as the onion dome for Russia, Loire castle features for France, and Renaissance details for the Netherlands.
The houses remain residential properties, and visitors can examine the exterior facades while walking along Roemer Visscherstraat near multiple Amsterdam museums.
The name of each represented country appears above the front door of its corresponding house, creating an outdoor exhibition of European architectural styles.

Amsterdam combines art, history, and culture. The city features notable museums like the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum, historical buildings such as the Anne Frank House, and a network of 17th-century canals. Public spaces like Dam Square and Vondelpark provide urban gathering points.
Amsterdam provides photographers with numerous subjects throughout the city. The 17th-century canals form the historic center, where gabled houses and bridges reflect in the water. The Jordaan district displays traditional residential architecture, while the Oosterdok area presents modern structures including the Central Library and NEMO Science Museum. The Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum offer both interior and exterior subjects. Vondelpark extends across 47 hectares, combining green spaces with urban elements. The Magere Brug over the Amstel river features evening illumination. Albert Cuyp Market captures daily life, while De Wallen combines historic facades with red lighting. The city suits architectural, street, and landscape photography. The flat topography and canals create specific lighting conditions. From morning to dusk, photographic conditions change across different neighborhoods.
