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.
This Tea House can be rented or visit the small coffee/lunch bar. Please check www.barblauw.nl
