History of the Pontsteiger ferry

Pontsteiger stands on the edge of the Old Houthaven, Amsterdam’s historic timber harbour. The harbour was dug in 1876 and grew into an important trans-shipment place as wood from Scandinavia, the Baltic region, Russia and beyond arrived in Amsterdam.

The waterfront has changed from working harbour to residential district, yet its maritime past remains visible in the area’s design and public art. The landing now links the former timber port with Amsterdam Noord’s industrial heritage and new waterfront districts.
