The Smallest House
The story of the Smallest House in Amsterdam started more than 280 years ago. Since the end of 2013, we, Kirsten and Niels, have been running one of the most beautiful tea shops in Amsterdam.
In those 280 years, The Smallest House in Amsterdam has built up a rich history. The house has been inhabited for many centuries and various shops are exploited on the ground floor. For example, in the 19th century there was already a tea shop located in our special building. Would you like to know more about the history of The Smallest House in Amsterdam? Then read on here.
