The History stretches back to 1613, when construction workers began excavating the fifth canal, the Keizersgracht. Five years later a wooden building was constructed and a theatre, called the Duytsche Academie, was founded in the building. To placate the church authorities, who disapproved of the immoral character of the theatre, it was decided to donate most of the profits to the city s orphanages. THE SITE OF THE DYLAN IS ONE OF THE MOST HISTORIC LOCATIONS IN AMSTERDAM. OVER CENTURIES MANY FAMOUS NAMES HAVE VISITED AND CONTINUE TO VISIT TODAY In 1632 the architect Jacob van Campen was commissioned to build a stone theatre. In the following years, many Dutch plays were performed on stage, as well as plays by writers such as Shakespeare, Moliere, Voltaire and Corneille. On the 100th anniversary of the theatre, in the year 1737, it was Antonio Vivaldi himself who conducted the theatre s orchestra. Many well-known guests visited the theatre, including the Prince of Orange, the King of Poland, the Russian Tsar and the Elector of Brandenburg. Monday, the 11th of May 1772, turned out to be a black day in the building s history. During a performance the building caught fire and completely burned down. Only the present van Campen s doorway was spared. In 1773 the site was sold to one of the Regents of the Roman Catholic Church charities, known as the Old & Poor People s Office. This foundation retained ownership until 1998, when the building was completely renovated and reopened as a luxury boutique hotel in 1999.
