De Otter, Amsterdam

Frederik Hendrikbuurt is a neighbourhood in the West district of Amsterdam, Netherlands and is situated between the canals Singelgracht and Kostverlorenvaart. The neighbourhood, known locally by the moniker the "Fred", is centred on the Frederik Hendrikplantsoen park and was planned during the last quarter of the nineteenth century as a confluence of green space and housing meant to be stand apart from the overcrowded Jordaan district. The construction of the neighbourhood was mostly complete by the start of the Second World War (1940). In the tradition of naming high-status areas after prominent figures, the neighbourhood is named after Frederik Hendrik (1584 - 1647); Prince of Orange, Count of Nassau, governor, captain-general and admiral-general of the Dutch Republic. Following this naming convention, prominent streets of the neighbourhood are similarly named after Hendrik's family. Most notable of these is the tree-lined Amaliastraat which takes its name from Hendrik's wife Amalia of Solms-Braunfels, Princess consort of Orange. Between the seventeenth century and the end of the nineteenth century the area was the "Windmill District" or "Sawmill Area". There were many mills for sawing timber, for shipbuilding and housing. The remaining windmill "de Otter", which can still be found along the Kostverlorenvaart. was constructed in 1631 and is listed as a Rijksmonument.

The De Clercqstraat is a street in Amsterdam-West, Netherlands. It runs between the Singelgracht and Kostverlorenvaart.

The reasons for filling in the 17th-century canal in 1890 were poor hygiene from polluted water, and the need for a broad exit road to the new neighborhoods west of the Singel canal.

Rozenstraat runs parallel to the Rozengracht.
