Venue: Felix Meritis,  Keizersgracht 324  
Duration: approx. 2 hours
The Leliegracht dates from 1612. It's one of the canals connecting the main canals. Following the example of the Oude Leliestraat, it too was named after a house 'In de Witte Lelye' at the Singel. The canal runs from Herengracht to Prinsengracht and has only 59 houses. The houses are built on smaller plots than on the main canals. Almost all of the canal houses at this intimate little canal have been restored, either by private people or by institutions that were set up to preserve the historical centre of Amsterdam.
