THE THEEHUIS (TEA HOUSE)
The building of the Tea House used to be an old ammunition depot, being part of the “Stelling van Amsterdam” (a fortification around the city of Amsterdam). Thus, it surely is a special, authentic location, perfect for meetings and festivities. The atmospheric wooden building is almost 150 years old and is surrounded by a terrace and a beautiful model garden.
This Tea House is especially appreciated for its intimate and personal environment. Entering the building one notices immediately the brick floor, the wooden walls and the original wooden window frames.
The Tea House is home to Bar Blue. From Wednesday to Saturday, they are open for guests from 09:00 - 17:00. It is also possible to rent this Tea House for various meetings. www.barblauw.nl
The Model Garden
The model garden is a very important part of the Tea Garden. Here the visitors will be surprised and inspired. Special perennials, rare bulbs and uncommon summer annuals have been gathered in exciting combinations. The business card of Jacqueline van der Kloet.
