Thanks and true, then I have to buy at least 100 bikes to make it realistic :-).

This is the facade of the city hall in Leiden, Netherlands. It’s a beautiful building that I often pass by on my bike. The façade features rich decorations, sandstones and ornaments such as garlands, pilasters, and sculpted details. In other words, recreating something like this is absolutely amazing!

This is the most photographed house in Leiden, Netherlands. I often see this house on my bicyle if I cycle towards the center. It was built in 1612. The city carpenter's yard (stadstimmerwerf in Dutch) was located on the edge of the city expansion that was built from 1611 onwards. The city carpenter lived and worked in this building. It is an old typical historic Dutch house. More city mocs: Instagram

Constructed: 1633 Demolished: 1864 The Rijnsburgerpoort was a gate in the fortifications of the city of Leiden, Netherlands. It was one of the many gates that surrounded the city and served as a point of entry and exit, as well as a means of controlling access. The gate was located at the end of the current Steenstraat. Just after completing the new train station in 1842, traffic became increasingly intensive. The gate became more and more of an obstacle and finally it was demolished in 1864. Follow me: Instagram

A year ago I posted the facade of the Stadsgehoorzaal (music hall) in Leiden, Netherlands. In my post I said: “In the future I hope to extend this building by making the concert room with a large orchestra. :-)”. So, hereby I show you the concert room as it really is. I put in all the minifigures I have (which isn’t enoung to fill the whole room). In a few weeks you can actually see this Lego music hall in de real Stadsgehoorzaal (Breestraat 60, Leiden). I’m very proud to have this Stadsgehoorzaal Moc in the real Stadsgehoorzaal 😊. Follow me: Instagram

I also want to compliment you. I really like all the details inside. Those are very cool to see. I also like all the ccharacters inside and outside which are displayed as a wall painting.

Nice typical Paris street. I always like lego city mocs. I especially like the facades of all houses. Well done!

My first building from Amsterdam. I chose it because it has a very nice round balcony. Of course, the building itself is also a beautiful building to recreate. Droogbak 4, Amsterdam Constructed: 1850 Follow me: Instagram

Thank you all. Secretly I also find the building in Lego more beautiful than the building in real life :-). It is almost an ideal building to rebuild. I've been inside. That will be quite a project to get it just as beautiful as the facade. And indeed, the building is built in Neo-Renaissance architecture.

Hereby my gigantic facade of the Stadsgehoorzaal (music hall) in Leiden, the Netherlands. I really enjoyed it because there were many details in the facade to recreate. In the future I hope to extend this building by making the concert room with a large orchestra. :-) Follow me: Instagram

Thanks! Here is a closer look inside the dome. I think creating a dome in lego is always tuff to make. The other picture is a closer look to the arched window.

Watch the recreation of an old city gate to enter the city Leiden, Netherlands. It's called the Morspoort (Mors gate) dated from 1669. A few weeks ago I created the topic [MOC] Sweet red mill. After photo 4 I added this project to my lego city.

Thanks. I have to admit that it is not possible to turn the mill in a circle of 360 degrees (although technically it is possible). Because there is too much "landscape" such as water, fences and the vegetable garden it is not possible. In my lego world the landcape goes before practical issues

This moc is inspired by an old typical Dutch mill called Kikkermolen (frogmill). Dated from 1747. Always when I passes the mill on my bike I thought, what a sweet tiny beautiful red mill. Let's recreate it with bricks :-).

Hi all, when I was kid a played a lot with lego. For many years I'm a adult now and 3 years ago I found out that you can actually buy single bricks. I really didn't know that before (whaah). My imagination went sky high and exploding with all the posiblitities/ideas/creations I had in my mind since I was a kid. I really like creating moc's of historical buildings. This month the Colosseum is released. Very very cool set, but I rather made it myself :-). Very soon I want to share my historical city (which was inspired by buildings from Amsterdam and Leiden, Netherlands) which I made over the past 3 years. Below a sneak preview.
