Oude Kerk

  Oude Kerk stands at Oudekerksplein 23, right in the heart of Amsterdam's Red Light District. Dating back to 1213, this historic church is the oldest building in the city, showcasing Dutch Gothic architecture. Its primary purpose has evolved from a religious site to a cultural space that hosts exhibitions and events. During the summer months, particularly in July and August, visitors can enjoy concerts and guided tours that illuminate its storied past. Inside, you can explore beautiful stained glass windows and an impressive wooden ceiling, providing a glimpse into both the church's artistic heritage and its historical significance.
