    The Verf-en Vernisfabriek is a former PAINT and LACQUER FACTORY from 1889. It was built in the New Netherlands Renaissance style. The building was hit by four major fires in the 19th century. On July 3, 1973 it burned down completely, but the facade on the side of the Oude Zijds Kolk, which was completely on the water, was spared. The very beautiful facade is now a listed building.

    This facade is the remnant of the Vettewinkel paint and varnish factory on the Prins Hendrikkade / Oudezijds Kolk in Amsterdam.

    This building was the office and paint exhibition of the Vettewinkel company. It was commissioned for the company in 1889, although the origins of the family business date back to 1809, when Dirk Vettewinkel founded his paint manufacturer.

    The building was used by the company until the 1970s, but burned down completely in 1973. Only the facade survived, the rest of the building was demolished (and later rebuilt).
