Description

The Goudsbloemgracht was a street and former canal in Amsterdam, in the Jordaan neighborhood of the Centrum district.
After the canal was backfilled in 1857 the street was renamed Willemsstraat.

The Goudsbloemgracht has its origins in the "Fransche Pad" , a path along a polder ditch outside the city of Amsterdam.
One source says the Oude Fransche Pad was nothing to do with the French, but was named after Frans Dirksz, who often took his horses along it to a meadow outside the city gates, and was known as Oude Frans.
On the south side of the ditch was the Vrijdomspad, so called because it was a free area outside the city boundary.
