Kaatsbaan Huis ter Kleef The Kaatsbaan at Huis ter Kleef in Haarlem was built by Hendrik van Brederode around 1560. He was a close friend and ally of 'Willem van Oranje', and led the rebellion against the Spanish invaders in the turbulent year of 1566. During the siege of Haarlem in 1573, Huis ter Kleef was largely destroyed by the Spaniards, whereas Hendrik's Kaatsbaan, a court which was used for playing an early form of tennis known as Real Tennis, was spared and used as a prison. This game was practiced until the second quarter of the 17th century, and the Kaatsbaan has since served as a farmhouse and in 1984 it was put into use as a canteen for one of the city's municipal departments. The National Service for Archaeology, Cultural Landscape and Built Heritage (RACM) has recognized the Kaatsbaan as a unique building of great monumental value. If the plans of the Real Tennis Club Huis ter Kleef - to have the building restored so that it can be put to its original use - are realized, the Kaatsbaan will be the oldest covered tennis court in the world. Blue Delft's exclusively made for Huis ter Kleef by KLM and Bols (not issued on board of KLM flights). Kaatsbaan Huis ter Kleef, Kleverlaan 9, Haarlem, The Netherlands. Open Monday - Friday 09.00 - 17.00, Sunday 10.30 - 16.00 For more information: www.realtennis.nl Huis ter Kleef

Maastricht, Huys on the Jeker The 82nd house, located in Maastricht and known locally as the 'Huys on the Jeker', was built sometime around 1665 on a bridge that spans the narrow Jeker River. The Huys on the Jeker was originally the home of the rector of the 'Grauwzusters', an order of Augustine nuns that lived in a convent behind the rector's house. The building is characteristic of Renaissance-period architecture in the Maas valley. The building now serves as a private residence. KLM miniature number 82

This 83rd house in the KLM series is located at 672 Keizersgracht in Amsterdam and was built in 1671 at the same time as the house next door. Architect Adriaen Dortsman was inspired by the style of classicism when he created his sober design for the fa?ade. Bentheim sandstone covers the entire exterior wall of the building. The first inhabitant of this house was Ferdinand Bol, Rembrandt's most famous student. In the middle of the eighteenth century, its interior was completely renovated. In 1884, the building was purchased by the Van Loon family. This family had played an important role in the city for centuries, one of its members having been one of the founders of the Dutch East India Company. Today, this house serves as a museum.

The Penha Building (Heerenstraat 1, Curacao), located in the heart of historic Willemstad, was constructed in 1708 from bricks made in the IJssel region that had been used as ballast aboard ships of the Dutch West Insdies Company. The arched galleries on the fa?ade of the building were not added until later. After 1877, the building became the property of the Penha family that established its shop in the ground floor around 1903.<br><br>Until 1956, the first floor accommodated the 'Soci?teit de Gezelligheid', a social club where prominent members would meet on what it called the 'Balcony Overlooking the Harber'.<br><br>The Penha Building contributed much to placing Willemstad on the UNESCO World Heritage List and has been used for decades as an accommodation for the famous PENHA perfunery.

AMSTELVEEN, August 31, 2005 - KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will celebrate its 86th anniversary in true tradition with the introduction of a new Delftware miniature. The Delftware miniatures are usually replicas of historical buildings located in the Netherlands. The Teylers Museum in Haarlem was selected for the 86th house because it is the oldest museum in the Netherlands. A first copy of the miniature will be presented to Mrs. Scharloo, curator of Teylers Museum, by Mr. Varwijk, Senior Vice President & Area Manager Western Europe on the occasion of KLM’s 86th anniversary on October 7, 2005. KLM has been presenting the Delftware miniatures filled with Bols Dutch gin to its World Business Class passengers on intercontinental flights since the 1950s. The collection has grown in sync with KLM’s anniversary since 1994, with a new house being added each year. The Delftware miniatures have become highly prized collectors items in the Netherlands and abroad. The museum was named after Pieter Teyler van der Hulst (1702-1778), an influential cloth and silk manufacturer based in Haarlem. As a representative of the Age of Reason, he was enormously interested in art and science. He collected avidly in both areas in the belief that knowledge would enrich human nature. In his will he therefore specified that his riches were to be used to establish a foundation in support of art and science, amongst other objectives. The executors of Teyler's will decided to build a special space in which objects related to art and science could be unified. The books were meant for studies, the physics equipment was used for demonstration purposes, and the drawings were the subject of debate during art reviews. A decision was soon reached to open the collections for public viewing. In cooperation with the British Museum in London and the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, Teylers Museum will be presenting a selection of ninety Michelangelo drawings between October 6, 2005 and January 8, 2006. This marks the first time in history when works from these three collections will be available together for viewing. The most commonly exhibited drawings are preliminary studies of well-known building and painting commissions in Rome and Florence. The Sistine Chapel in Rome is at the heart of the exhibition with works from the ceiling frescos and the mural of the Last Judgment. KLM miniature number 86

AMSTELVEEN, October 9, 2006 – KLM Royal Dutch Airlines celebrated its 87th anniversary in true tradition on October 7, 2006, with the presentation of a new Delftware miniature. The Delftware miniatures are replicas of Dutch historical buildings. The Peperhuis (Pepper House) on the Wierdijk in Enkhuizen was selected as the 87th miniature. Mr. Rob van Hijfte,Vice President Cabin Inflight Management, officially presented the first copy of the new house to Mr. Erik Schilp, managing director of the Zuiderzee Museum. The Peperhuis is the oldest building of the Zuiderzee Museum. The first stone was laid in 1925 at the behest of shipping merchant Pieter van Berensteyn, who lived and worked in the Peperhuis. In 1682, the Enkhuizen Chamber of the Dutch East India Company (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie – VOC) purchased the building for 2,600 guilders and began using it as a warehouse. KLM has been presenting the Delftware miniatures to its World Business Class passengers on intercontinental flights since the 1950s. The collection has grown in sync with KLM’s anniversary since 1994, with a new house being added each year. The Delftware miniatures have become highly prized collectors items in the Netherlands and abroad. History of the house The Peperhuis consists of two adjoining parts. The front of the building faces the Wierdijk and the other side the Oosterhaven. Van Berensteyn occupied the front section. The double stepped gable of the Peperhuis on the Wierdijk is impressive for several reasons. The central plaque shows an image of the herring harvest, accompanied by the old, economic adage “nothing ventured, nothing gained.” A striking feature in the building’s façade is the green door on the first floor. This was not the door to the warehouse, but led to the home of Pieter van Berensteyn. An extended stone staircase – long since vanished – provided access to the house. A monogram of the Enkhuizen Chamber of the VOC can be seen at the back of the building. Like most VOC warehouses, the Peperhuis did not only serve as storage space. Colonial goods were also unpacked, weighed, sorted and prepared for twice-yearly auction. The Peperhuis has served numerous purposes after the VOC was disbanded in 1798. It has been used as a naval hospital and as a warehouse for cheese and seeds. It served the latter purpose until 1946, when the Royal Sluis & Groot Seed Growers and Traders Company donated the building to the Friends of the Zuiderzee Museum. KLM miniature number 87

AMSTELVEEN, 8 October 2007 – A new KLM Delft Blue house is being issued to mark our 88th anniversary on October 7. The building selected to be the 88th KLM House is ‘t Lootsje on the Rozengracht in Amsterdam. The Delft Blue miniature houses are all replicas of historical Dutch buildings and are filled with Bols Jonge Jenever. The first “House 88” will be presented by Bart Vos, EVP Inflight Services, to Mr. Huub van Doorne, CEO Lucas Bols. From 1575, ‘t Lootsje on the Rozengracht, Amsterdam, was the home of the Bols liqueur and jenever distillery and tasting room. Bols is the oldest Dutch company still operating and the world’s oldest distillery brand. The Delft Blue houses have been presented by KLM to our World Business Class passengers on intercontinental flights since the 1950s. Since 1994, the number of houses in the collection has matched the age of KLM. Every year a new house is added to the collection and they have become popular collectables both at home and abroad. History of ‘t Lootsje Lucas Bols headed the Bols company between 1678 and 1719 and turned it into an internationally renowned brand. As a major shareholder in the Dutch East India Company (VOC) he had first choice of exotic herbs and spices which he used to make almost 300 different liqueurs and jenevers. The drinks became so popular that the company had to keep expanding, buying the buildings on either side. In 1892 a canopy appeared above the entrance to the tasting room ‘t Lootsje and the neck gable became a stepped gable. A decade later Eduard Cuypers designed a long facade for all the Bols buildings. The front of the tasting room at No. 99 remains unchanged to the present day. KLM miniature number 88

AMSTELVEEN, 8 October 2008 – A new KLM Delft Blue house is being issued to mark our 89th anniversary on October 7. The building selected to be the 89th KLM House is The Secretarishuisje (town clerk’s house) at Muurhuizen 109 in Amersfoort. It was built in the first half of the 16th century on the foundations of the first wall. It is a typical wall house and is one of a ring of medieval houses in the city centre. Almost every period since then has left traces on its façade. The masonry and wall anchors date from the late Middle Ages. During the early 17th century, the house was ‘updated’ with various Renaissance elements. It was purchased by Jan Both Hendriksen, the town clerk, in 1776 and has been known since then as the Secretarishuisje. The typically 18th-century sash windows and the front door with the beautifull Rococo knob date from this time. During the 19th and 20th centuries, the house fell into disrepair. In 1953, it came into possession of the Municipality of Amersfoort and was restored by architect C.W. Royaards. The house is currently being rented to city dwellers. KLM miniature number 89

The Building located at 175 Badhuisweg was built in 1895. It is located in an urban conservation area known as Westbroekparkweg and Belgische Park, the latter being a 19th-century villa park in the Hague. The villa was built in the 'eclectic style': architecture chracterised by its combination of neo-styles. The building was altered and expanded several times. The architect of the house is F.A. Koch (1864 - 1935). The government of the Netherlands Antilles purchased the building in 1955. It has served as the residence of the Minister Plenipotentiary of the Netherlands Antilles who represents the Netherlands Antilles in the Council of Ministers of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The Heineken brewery This house was built in 1913 to replace the old Heineken brewery on Stadhouderskade in Amsterdam. Heineken had been at that address since the 1860's and its beer had already become world famous. Nevertheless, the start of the twentieth century heralded another spate of modernization and in 1910, Heineken's Board of Directors decided it was time for a new brewhouse. Arie Heederik, an architect of Royal HaskoningDHV, was appointed to draw the plans. The result was a robust yet elegant building with a facade that appeared to be crowned by two square towers. Its stained glass windows were some of the decorative features designed in contemporary art nouveau style. A large, prominently-placed, tiled plaque with the name of the brewery decorated the facade. Inside, copper kettles replaced the old wooden ones. Today, the aroma of malt and hops has disappeared. The last bottles came off the bottling line of the brewery on Stadhouderskade in 1988. By the time the Amsterdam brewery closed, about 90,000 people were visiting Heineken annually. Because Heineken wanted to continue this tradition, the buildings on Stadhouderskade were converted into visitors centre. Nowadays, the 1913 brewhouse is at the heart of the Heineken Experience.

A replica of the house where Hendrick Hamel was born, was built on the very same site as the original. This is now where visitors can get a sense of the life of this historic naval hero from Gorinchem. Hendrick Hamel(1630-1692) was a Dutch Seafarer.In 1653 he was aboard De Sperwer,when it ran aground off the coast of the Korean Island of Jeju. The survivors were forbidden to leave the country because the Korean King did not want others having information about this country .It was not until 13 years later that Hendrick Hamel and seven others managed to escape. During his time in Korea, Hamel had kept a detailed journal that became Europe’s sole source of information about that country for many years. For this reason ,he later became a famous person and was even honoured in Korea while being almost forgotten in the Netherlands. The Hamel House is not only a museum but also a place where Dutch and Korean cultures come face to face. Hamel House Kortendijk 67 4201 KS Gorinchem www.hamelhuis.nl KLM miniature number 96

Hotel New York Koninginnehoofd 1, Rotterdam Hotel New York is situated in the former head office of the Holland America Line, also known as 'The Grand Old Lady'. From here thousands of emigrants left for North America, hoping for a better life. Nowadays, people come here to sleep, celebrate, eat, drink and do business in a special atmosphere. In earlier times, many Europeans escaped poverty and/or religious persecution by leaving from Rotterdam. These emigrants usually left for North America, hoping for a better life. In 1873 the NASM company was founded, officially renamed 'HollandAmerica Line' in 1896. In 1971, after more than 100 years of transporting passengers, the Nieuw Amsterdam left the city on the Maas for its last crossing. An important episode in Rotterdam's nautical history had come to an end. The building in which hotel New Yorkis situated was built in the Jugendstil style during the period 1901-1917 by the architects J. Muller, Droogleever Fortuin and C.B. van der Tak. In 1977 the Holland America Line's head office moved to Seattle and in 1984 the building on Wilhelmina Pier was put on sale. One fine day in the early nineties, a few people regarded the building from across the water. With its tall towers and spinning weathercock, the building seemed to say: KLM miniature number 97

The shop suffered extensive damage, only the façade was left standing. It was reconstructed in the traditional style, with display windows and an elegant porch. The guttering is decorated with a wooden panel showing a white ox, the logo of the shop. Until 1925 this logo was also used by Douwe Egberts on its tea and coffee packaging. It was then replaced by the familiar Douwe Egberts stamp. Since 1985 De Witte Os has been part of Museum Joure and is laid out as a traditional grocer’s shop from around 1900.

The 105nd KLM miniature house is a replica of the The House on the Three Canals, Oudezijds Voorburgwal 249, Amsterdam. KLM celebrates its 105th anniversary on October 7 and, as usual, the airline presents a Delft blue miniature version of a building with a special history. This year the choice fell on The House on the Three Canals - a national monument from 1610 in Renaissance Style. Located in the heart of Amsterdam, this magnificent mansion dates back to 1610 and showcases the elegance of Dutch Renaissance architecture. Designated as a national monument, it derives its name from its unique positioning at the intersection of three canals: the Grimburgwal, the Oudezijds Voorburgwal (front), and the Oudezijds Achterburgwal. This strategic location provides the house with captivating views and distinct angles. The property underwent a significant restoration in 1909, transforming it into an architectural masterpiece. Renowned architect Jan de Meyer meticulously worked to revert the house to its original 17th-century glory, following years of alterations and divisions since its sale in 1687. The renovation introduced new window frames, stepped gables, and an elegant sandstone door frame at the entrance. The interior also received careful attention, with features like oak draught doors and marble floors being replaced to reflect its historical significance. For many years, ‘Het huis aan de drie grachten’ served as a vibrant bookshop and publishing house, contributing to the cultural tapestry of Amsterdam. KLM miniature number 105
