Gable stones in Amsterdam

Have you ever wandered the streets of Amsterdam, and wondered what are the plaques on buildings for? Why are they there, and what do the different designs signify? These plaques are known as gable stones or gevelstenen, and in this video I explain their purpose. I also go into detail on a few chosen gable stones.

Are there any gable stones that have caught your eye in Amsterdam? If you’re not based in Amsterdam - are there gable stones where you are?

ABOUT ME
This channel is about tips and insights on living in Amsterdam. Videos are posted once a week.

My name is Daniella Perera. I’m Eurasian and moved to Amsterdam at the end of 2020 with my husband. Whilst my background is in Molecular Genetics & French, and Commercial Real Estate – my heart has always been in my creative pursuits. I am an avid dog lover and hope to one day use my creative skills to directly help stray dogs.

This channel is about tips and insights on living in Amsterdam. Separate to making videos, I also create watercolour patterns for surface design. A selection of patterns available for licensing is on my website and I am also open to freelance pattern work.
