Since 2022 I started 'Collected Stories', my own very little cute conceptstore in the historic centre of Gouda. It is located in one of the smallest Canal houses of Gouda! In my conceptstore I combine two things. I sell handmade gifts (locally made) and I walk with people through the lovely old city centre. If you like to start with a drink and bite (view on the Gouwe river) and walk with a local through the beautiful town of Gouda? Then come to Collected Stories!

What makes Collected Stories, the starting point of the tour, so special?

The beginning of the tour is located in one of the smallest and oldest canal houses from Gouda! Since 1366 it is registered in the books. Because it is so small (just 2.55 in width) the conceptstore is really tiny and got a cozy atmosphere.
