The Admiraliteitslijnbaan (Ropewalk of the Admiralty of Amsterdam) is a 17th-century building on Oostenburgergracht canal in Amsterdam. It has held rijksmonument status since 1970. A plaque on one side of the building commemorates Czar Peter the Great, who may have stayed here in 1697 during his apprenticeship at the Amsterdam shipyards.IJsbrand Kok, "Restauratie van de Admiraliteitslijnbaan aan de Oostenburgergracht: Een oase in een dorre stadswijk", Amstelodamum, Jan. 1950 (Dutch) Read more on Wikipedia
