Herberg Zeeburg is a former inn in Amsterdam East. The inn was built in 1675 on what was then still Diemen's territory near Fort Zeeburg. Ships could moor at the inn at the so-called "Mussel Jetty". There was a lively trade in cattle, which were disembarked and sometimes fattened, and in fish. The inn had stables, barns, a haystack and later a berth for the harbour steamship service. The inn was given its current appearance in 1766. In the second half of the 19th century, six bathhouses were installed, but they were not successful. In addition, horse racing competitions also took place. In 1887 the cattle trade disappeared to the then new Veemarkt. In 1896, the inn was annexed from the territory of Diemen, for the construction of the Indische buurt, to Amsterdam territory. The building remained in use as an inn until 1915.
