The Naval Warehouse

The monumental building dates from 1656 and was designed by Daniël Stalpaert as a warehouse for the Admiralty of Amsterdam. Cannons, sails, flags, and naval equipment for the war fleet were stored in the warehouse. The barrel vaults beneath the courtyard collected approximately 40,000 liters of rainwater for the ships’ drinking water supply. The Naval Warehouse was built on 2,300 piles, but despite this, the building began to subside. Buttresses and additional projections were added to prevent further subsidence or even collapse. In 1791, the building burned down, leaving only the stone walls. The charred brick facades disappeared under a layer of plaster designed to resemble sandstone blocks. In 1795, Napoleon Bonaparte invaded the country, and the Batavian Republic was founded. The five Admiralties were abolished and replaced by a national navy. The Naval Warehouse became a naval warehouse, a position it remained in until the early 1970s.
