Sailing and trade made Amsterdam famous. The tears tower is where every journey started and wives would say goodbye to their sailors. Enjoy the living history of this museum restaurant.

The Schreiren or Weeping tower gets its name from being the final viewing point for the wives of seafarers. In this modern era it's often the destination of folks landing at Central Station or departing

The cafe is quaint yet nice. It has a limited but tasty menu. I particularly like their Jonge jenever which is specially brewed for the Cafe.

I recommend trying the pancake with steamed strawberries. Perfect for an evening date or a lazy afternoon conversation

Ein altertümlicher Turm. Ein Wehrturm von der ehemaligen Stadtmauer. Erbaut 1487.
Schönes Fotomotiv.

برج البكاء هو بناء اسطواني على هيئة برج صغير كانت النساء يقفن أعلاه لتوديع البحارة المسافرين والذين قد لا يعودون مرة أخرى لاحتمال هلاكهم في البحار وكان الوداع بالبكاء فسمي البرج ببرج البكاء

Coneguda com a Torre de les llàgrimes, on les dones acomiadaven als mariners. Del 1842, formava part de les antigues muralles.

Schreierstoren fue construida en 1482 y formaba parte de la muralla medieval que defendía a la ciudad de Amsterdam. Dicen que en esta torre las mujeres lloraban a sus maridos que partían en los barcos, aunque eso no se ha podido demostrar y sería más un mito que una realidad. De todos modos es una anécdota simpática. Actualmente hay un bar y una librería.

De Weeping tower of Schreierstoren aan de Geldersekade in Amsterdam is een verdedigingstoren die vroeger deel uitmaakte van de stadsmuur van Amsterdam.

De toren werd gebouwd rond 1487 op de hoek van het IJ en de oostkant van de stad . Het is de enige bewaard gebleven verdedigingstoren van Amsterdam.

De toren heette vroeger de Schrayershoucktoren omdat de stadsmuur hier een scherpe hoek maakte ( van schray = " scherp " )

De huidige naam zou de toren hebben gekregen omdat hij op de plaats stond waar in de tijd van de
VOC - vrouwen ( Vereenigde Oost -
indische Compagnie ) afscheid namen van hun mannen voordat die op zeereis vertrokken.

Henri Hudson is vanaf deze plaats vertrokken om New Amsterdam te ontdekken.

De toren huisvest nu een café.

Mais uma torre das antigas muralhas da cidade e foi construída como torre de defesa em 1487. Atualmente é um pequeno café e também uma livraria dedicada ao tema náutico.
