The Beurs van Berlage was built between 1898 and 1903. A part of the river Amstel, where the trading ships used to berth, had to be reclaimed. Historical figures and symbolic illustrations decorated the impressive structure of red bricks. The main purpose of the Beurs van Berlage was trade. It accommodated the stock market for many years. Today it is an important location for meetings and events.
