Stepped Gabel Canal House

The back view of the 3Bros Stroopwafel Canal House Box

After 1550 and the dip of wooden canal houses, the most popular brick facade design was the stepped gable. The “steps” are made from brick and are usually covered with a natural stone to prevent water from penetrating. The diagonal lines of the roof are obscured by the horizontal lines of the facade.

This style of canal house we particularly popular during the “Golden” 17th century, the cityscape in Holland was dominated by this type of façade. Today, only a few hundred of them remain. Brick was much more expensive to build with than wood, however, this was the economic boom time in Holland and money was not in short supply.
