But what makes the Old Harbour really special is the mix of historic homes and modern design, which is characteristic for Rotterdam. In the Old Harbour the famous modern Cube Houses are located next to the historic merchant houses, which are some of the oldest buildings in Rotterdam. Due to this contrast, the Old Harbour is a great photo spot as well.
One of the highlights in the Old Harbour is the magnificent White House, Europe’s first skyscraper. This building is 43 meters (140 feet) tall and was built in 1898 and it has been the tallest office building in Europe for many years. The White House in Rotterdam was inspired by Manhattan’s skyscrapers after a trip to New York by one of the developers and it was built in Art Nouveau style.
