1940’s. View of the Oudemanhuispoort in Amsterdam. The Oudemanhuispoort is located between the Oudezijds Achterburgwal and the Kloveniersburgwal. The passage of the port dates back to 1601, when the complex was a hospital for seniors. In the second half of the 19th century the old building, while retaining the basic form, was rebuilt. Since 1880, the building has been in use by the Stedelijke University, now known as the University of Amsterdam. #amsterdam #1940 #Oudemanhuispoort
