History (source monuments and archeology Amsterdam):
The Keizersgracht, the second of the three canals belonging to the Amsterdam Canal Belt, was built in 1612. The part between the Amstel and the Leidsegracht belongs to the expansion of 1658. At the last expansion, the section east of the Amstel River was dug. This last part, the Nieuwe Keizersgracht (also known as the Jewish Keizersgracht), was the new Herengracht and the Nieuwe Prinsengracht in the prosperous part of the Amsterdam Jews ' neighbourhood.
