Canal houses

Holland has many canals and the houses built along these canals were very different from other houses. It was built to protect the people from the floods arising in the canal. The door step was placed at a higher level and there were many ways and means for people to be at a safe height if the canal flooded. Since these houses looked very different, the creative artisans reproduced replicas of these canal houses and sold them as mementos of Holland. These canal houses are as popular as its clogs, windmills and tulips.
