Parking near Kattenburg

Kattenburg, one of Amsterdam's three Eastern Islands constructed in the second half of 17th-century IJ, takes its name from an anti-crown defense structure known as a "kat," once present there; you can still spot some remnants today along Kattenburgerstraat street which runs from Kattenburgerplein square past Marine Establishment - hence "Kattenburg."

On the west side of Amsterdam's old city center, neighborhoods bordering the IJ are known as islands; examples include Bicker Island, Prince's Island and Realeneiland (Western Islands); on the eastern side, various islands have emerged along its south bank with names that end in "burg," including Rapenburg, Uilenburg, Valkenburg, Vlooienburg Walenburg Kattenburg Wittenburg Oostenburg Zeeburgereiland as well as recently Zeeburgereiland (ZEEburgereiland). These developments are often called Zeeburgereiland or IJburg.

Kattenburg first came into existence during the mid-17th century, when its Eastern Islands were still considered marshy areas outside of Amsterdam's dikes. By 1675, however, Amsterdam experienced unprecedented economic and urban expansion; further expanding both economically and with regard to its harbor. At the close of the 16th century, Lastage was added to the city as islands such as Rapenburg, Uilenburg and Valkenburg (Marken) were constructed. Finally, Walenburg was established along the Oude Waal. In 1641, it was decided to create an island in the IJ to act as both a breakwater and fortification against Waal's unprotected waters. This plan, known as Nieuwe Eylandt (New Island), would have been located near Kadijksplein near what is currently Kadijksplein; before completion it was extended further north with "Het Nieuwe Hooft", before further development around that fortification led to Cattenburgh which eventually evolved into Kattenburgh which eventually transformed into Kattenburgh which eventually become known by Kattenburgh then Kattenburgh eventually becoming Kattenburgh/Kattenburgh eventually becoming Kattenburg

Kattenburg quickly fell into disuse as a result of new fortifications being built throughout its city limits, leading to permission being given in 1654 for shipyards to be constructed between its no longer functioning fortifications and outer dike land embanked ground embankment embankment walls and wooden walls to be constructed on these embanked areas. Within six months the entire island of Kattenburg was being utilized by shipyards that dominated shipbuilding up until 20th century.
