House De Vicq (1670, renovated in 1730)

The De Vicq House, Herengracht 476, is an example of a 17th-century double house with 18th-century elements. The imposing pilaster gable with festoons dates from 1670, but the attic above the cornice and the double doorstep date from 1730.The attic consists of a balustrade with statues of Mercury and Venus and an eagle. If you think the De Vicq House has a beautiful doorstep, take a look at the double doorstep of Herengracht 480. This is one of the few doorsteps in Amsterdam with so-called harp scrolls.

Herengracht 474, (1669, renovated 1756 and 1890)
In 1756 the neck-gable was replaced by a cornice.
