Little Kingdom by the Sea, a celebration of Dutch cultural heritage 2024

Memories are our most precious possessions, often brought to life by the smallest things. That’s the magic behind KLM’s Delft Blue miniature houses. Each one is not only a beautiful collector’s item, but it also holds a unique story behind every facade. Modelled after historical landmarks, these miniatures bring the rich history of the Netherlands into your home—and now, you can experience those stories for yourself.

On October 7, 2024, KLM unveiled the much-anticipated house number 105: the House on the Three Canals. This unique monument, located in the heart of Amsterdam, dates back to 1610 and was built in the magnificent Dutch Renaissance style. Nestled on three famous canals—the Grimburgwal, Oudezijds Voorburgwal, and Oudezijds Achterburgwal—it carries a rich history you can explore in the new book Little Kingdom by the Sea. This masterpiece delves into the fascinating tales behind the House on the Three Canals and other iconic KLM houses. Imagine a book that takes you on a journey through time while you admire your collection of Delft Blue houses.
