"Start of a warehouse empirium" Top 5 Page for this destination Department stores Tip by Pavlik_NL

The history of this first huge warehouse of the Netherlands is entangled with the history of the company that has now-a-days a warehouse, shop and more emperium within the Dutch and European economy. “De Bijenkorf” (the beehive) started as a small women’s handworkshop in Amsterdam, owned by S.P. Goudsmit. The shop was so successful and had continous growth. Eventually more products came into the assortment and eventually the building that is now neighbouring the Burs of Berlage was constructed. The neo-style between baroque and classicism is also made by natural stones and materials. The shop is worth a visit for those who like quite exclusive articles.
