It was built in the 16th century and is known for its classical architecture and historical significance. The carving is an example of a mascaron, a decorative element often found on French buildings."

This sculpted face (mascaron), made of plaster or concrete can be found on a building from 1899 at “Derde Oosterparkstraat”. It is shaped by hand and added for decoration, like many details on buildings from that time.

The mascaron is a small reminder of the charm and detail in Amsterdam’s historic streets. So don’t forget to look up every now and then. 👀 🆙
