History of the Burgwallen Originally, the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal was a canal-side fortified wall (burgwal). Before 1385, the Amstel River divided Amsterdam into two nearly equal parts: the "Old Side" with the Oude Kerk (Old Church) and the "New Side" with the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church). Each side was bordered by a burgwal. Around 1385, new walls were constructed, and the existing walls became the "voorburgwal" (front wall) while the new ones were called the "achterburgwal" (rear wall), both on the old and new sides. This division created the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, Nieuwezijds Achterburgwal, Oudezijds Voorburgwal, and Oudezijds Achterburgwal.
