History of
the Beurs van Berlage
In the Golden Age Amsterdam was the first place in the world to create a fixed location for the trade in stocks and shares. The shares of the very first limited liability company in the world to be traded were those of the Dutch East India Company (Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie, abbreviated to VOC).

Three hundred years later Berlage built the third Amsterdam Stock Exchange; a building that generated a lot of controversy and, today, is considered the beginning of modern Dutch architecture.
