Winkel van Sinkel
In 1839, Anton Sinkel's ultramodern department store at the Oudegracht was opened. The Winkel van Sinkel was the very first shop gallery in the Netherlands and runs to the vinkenburgstraat via a passage. Architect P. Adams designed a large neo-classical building, the most remarkable interior is illuminated by a large skylight. Today, this is a grand café and festival palace, the façade of which was repainted in the original colours in 2006. The caryatids were not given their intended bronze colour.

Winkel van Sinkel is a striking building standing by the Oudegracht with its façade featuring four giant cast-iron statues which were fabricated in England, as nowhere else had the technology at the start of the 19th century to produce them. They were so large that they had to be transported to the store by water but unfortunately they were so heavy that the crane off-loading them from the boat collapsed under their weight, earning the statues the nicknames "these fallen English women" and "the English whores." http://bit.ly/1E3h4YL
