Spuistraat 294, situated in central Amsterdam, was once part of the Nieuwezijds Achterburgwal, a canal that was filled in 1867, transforming the area into the present-day Spuistraat. The building at this address is a small, historic structure with a stepped gable, built in 1627, a date indicated by four decorative wall anchors on its facade. At the top of the building, a lion holding a coat of arms adds an ornamental detail. The house was originally commissioned by Jan Janszoon Vijfvliegen.
Currently, Spuistraat 294 forms part of the famous restaurant d'Vijff Vlieghen (The Five Flies), which has become a popular dining destination for both Dutch locals and international visitors. Known for its historical ambiance, the restaurant combines traditional Dutch cuisine with the rich heritage of the city, making it a favorite spot for many well-known figure.
