Athenaeum Illustre of Amsterdam

The Baroque gate of the Agnietenkapel, which was originally made in 1571, was moved here in 1631, and today has an iron gate attached that spells out "Athenaeum Illustre 1632-1921"

Athenaeum Illustre, or Amsterdamse Atheneum, was a city-sponsored 'illustrious school' founded after the beeldenstorm in the old Agnieten chapel on the Oudezijds Voorburgwal 231 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Famous scientists such as Caspar Barlaeus, Gerardus Vossius, Martinus Hortensius, Alexander de Bie, and Petrus Camper taught here.
