              <p xml:lang="eng"><![CDATA[The Bazel, the building the Amsterdam City Archives resides in, was the most important work of the Dutch architect Karel de Bazel and was built from 1919 to 1926 as the head office of the Netherlands Trading Society. Later, the Algemene Bank Nederland - one of the main predecessors of ABN AMRO -  resided in the Bazel. In 1999 the city of Amsterdam bought the building and after a renovation the building was re-opened to house the Amsterdam City Archives on 7 August 2007.]]></p>
