Nes (Amsterdam)
Nes (; sometimes called de Nes, "the Nes") is a narrow, old, street in central Amsterdam, Netherlands. It runs parallel to and to the east of Rokin, between Dam Square to the north and Grimburgwal to the south. The Dutch word ''nes'' means headland or spit (compare the English word " ness", often found as a suffix in placenames). Until the seventeenth century, the northern part of Nes (roughly near where Dam Square now is) was called ''Gansoord'' ("Goose-oord"). (An ''oord'' ( nl) is a piece of land between where two rivers meet.) The name most likely described the nature of the street's original situation among the waterways of Amsterdam. In the year 1500, there were around 20 monasteries in Amsterdam; of which five were in Nes. The street was nicknamed ''Gebed zonder End'' ("Prayer without end"). A side alley bears that name to this day ( nl). Open practice of Catholicism was banned after the ''Alteratie'' of 1578, and the monasteries were given over to other uses. For exampl ...
