View of Realeneiland

Highlight • Viewpoint

North of the Jordaan and Haarlemmerbuurt neighborhoods are Amsterdam’s three (man-made) Western Islands: Bickerseiland, Prinseneiland and Realeneiland, a small and quiet world with a distinct flavor all of its own — seemingly stuck in time — close to the city center. On a surface area of 22 hectare (54 acres), the islands were historically dedicated to shipyards and warehouses, combining industry and housing. These days they are often used as the backdrop for movies because of their many nostalgic panoramas.

Bickerseiland

Highlight • Settlement

The Bickerseiland, originally the Vooreiland, was named after the merchant family Bicker who owned land there. On the Bickerseiland there were a dozen ship works here. A marina was built at an early stage. From 1660 there was a three-aisled wooden church, which was replaced by a stone building around 1736. After this Eilandskerk was closed in 1939 and demolished in 1950, the tombstones were used for the restoration of the floor of the Martinikerk in Bolsward. Parts of the household effects ended up in a restaurant on the Haarlemmerstraat. Bickerseiland has ceased to be an island since the construction of the railway embankment between Westerdok and Westerpoort (1878) for the Den Helder - Amsterdam railway.

Old Cannon

Highlight • Monument

In the center of town next to the river you can find this cannon. I think it's appropriate for a picture.
