# Lijnbaansgracht

Lijnbaansgracht (Dutch pronunciation:) is a partly filled-in canal in Amsterdam which bends beyond the boundary of the center, Amsterdam-Centrum. The canal runs parallel to the Singelgracht, between the Brouwersgracht and the Reguliersgracht.

## History

The Lijnbaansgracht is named after the ropewalks ("lijnbanen") of the ropemakers, which needed a lot of space and were located here on the former edge of the city. Construction of the canal started in 1612 during the first stages of the construction of the canal belt.

## Filled in parts

The Lijnbaansgracht ran through the Schans to the Muiderpoort until the 19th century. In the 19th century parts were filled in, overlaid.
* The Raamplein and the Raamdwarsstraat are on the filled in part between the Passeerdersgracht and the Leidsegracht (between Lijnbaansgracht 217 and 219).
* The Leidseplein and the adjacent Kleine Gartmanplantsoen lie on the filled in part between Lijnbaansgracht 243 and nr. 245. The work around the Kleine-Gartmanplantsoen began in 1909.
* Parts of the canal went up in the Frederiksplein.
* East of the Reguliersgracht to the Amstel River, the Amstelgrachtje, also considered part of the Lijnbaansgracht, was filled in 1866, and is now the Maarten Jansz.
* More eastern, beyond the Amstel, the Nieuwe Lijnbaansgracht extended to the Muidergracht and beyond, at Artis, the Plantage Lijnbaansgracht to the Entrepotdok. The Nieuwe Lijnbaansgracht is completely filled in, here lies the Valckenierstraat. The Muidergracht and Plantage Lijnbaansgracht are now called Plantage Muidergracht.

## Shore

Only the built-up bank on the center of the canal was called Lijnbaansgracht. The opposite shore was named differently.
* The Westerkade forms the western shore between the Westerstraat and Bloemgracht (opposite Lijnbaansgracht 65 to 98).
* Part of the Marnixstraat (opposite Lijnbaansgracht numbers 117 to 217) forms the western shore of the canal between Rozengracht and Raamplein.
* The Zieseniskade (opposite Lijnbaansgracht 245 to 284) forms the southern bank of the canal between the Kleine Gartmanplantsoen and the Spiegelgracht.
