Huis Bartolotti (Het Bonte Huis)

Situated on a bend in the Herengracht canal (and thus slightly curved), this house was built in 1617. The house has two inscriptions: "Ingenio et Assiduo Labore" (by ingenuity and hard industry) and "Religione et Probitate" (by religion and righteousness).

This building is also a government monument.

Thanks to Pieter Bos for identifying it for me!

What a cool shot - with the reflections it creates an illusion of a wall V
