The Zevenlandenhuizen (seven countries houses) on the Roemer Visscherstraat were built in 1894. As the name might imply, seven houses are lined up next to each other, with each house representing an architectural style from a different European country. The houses were designed by architect Tjeerd Kuipers and commissioned by Amsterdam philanthropist Sam van Eeghen.
