The Bartolotti House is one of Amsterdam's best-preserved canal houses. The wealthy Willem Van den Heuvel had the house built around 1620.
Heuvel then changed his name to Guillelmo Bartolotti, after an Italian uncle from whom he had inherited a lot of money. This gave the house the name we know today.
For its time, the building was ahead of its time. The façade curved around the meandering Herengracht, and the exuberant decor impressed the people of Amstelloden. In 1755, a large annex was added, with its magnificent rococo hall.
