The Amsterdamseweg is an important street in Amstelveen, Netherlands. It is one of the oldest streets in the city.

Contents

As shown on old prints, the Amsterdamseweg is built on an old dike

This dike was built to prevent the area from getting flooded by the nearby Haarlemmermeer. Nowadays, the houses are built up against the dike, that's why the houses of the Amsterdamseweg have a souterrain.
