The Leliegracht (Lily Canal) is a canal in Amsterdam between Herengracht (no. 148 and 169) and Prinsengracht (no. 124 and 241). The canal lies within the west of the Grachtengordel (canal belt) in the Jordaan neighbourhood of the Amsterdam-Centrum district .
The canal was dug after 1612 when the canal belt was created south of the Brouwersgracht. The remains of a lock can be recognized on the Prinsengracht side. That lock was necessary because the water of the Prinsengracht (along with the rest of the Jordaan Canals) remained at the polder level, while the water level in the Leliegracht, Keizersgracht and Herengracht was at the higher city level.
Six of the eleven Jordanian canals were filled in in the 19th century. Only the Bloemgracht, Egelantiersgracht, Lauriergracht, Looiersgracht and Passeerdersgracht remained besides the canal belt Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht, Singel, Lijnbaansgracht, Brouwersgracht, Leliegracht and Leidsegracht.
Greetings to all from Amsterdam we are still in lockdown and the end is not yet in sight there is caution and a bit of anger and some understandable fear hopefully also that will improve
I’ve been taking some pictures of the local streets and all the shops that depend on people this time the Oudeleliestraat or old lily street in Amsterdam center
Try going around your neighbourhood and look and appreciate all the wonderful and important service local shops provide the community
Take care Stay safe and see you soon in the streets of Amsterdam
