How much do we really know about the Mayer Manor, the beautiful space we inhabit?
Behind these walls lies a rich history: it once was a medieval monastery (1400-1600 AD), before becoming a cigar factory founded by Nico Mayer in the early 1900s. It even served as a refuge for people in hiding during WWII.
As Amsterdam celebrates 750 years of toll privileges, we embark on a journey to uncover our building’s past. This is only the beginning of an ongoing exploration.
TenClub member Steven, passionate about local history, will guide us through time with stories and images that bring the past to life. Our guide for the night, Stan de Kanter, will guide us through the history of the neighbourhood and give us a tour of the building, unveiling its layered narratives.
What do we know? And what has remained a mystery to this day? Join us and find out.
This evening will be in English.
About the Nights of the Curious
During these evenings of self-expression, retrospection and confrontation, our Curious consciously explore their inner world. These members-only nights are always different from one another and quintessentially TenClub.
