Gate from Over-Amstel Estate

This gate was the entrance to Over-Amstel, a country estate located just outside of Amsterdam. The gate was probably made when the manor changed hands in 1763 and at that time was named Over-Amstel. A glassworks was established on the grounds between 1835 and 1887, and the gate then served as the factory entrance until it was gifted to the Rijksmuseum in 1890.
