De Oude Kerk Amsterdam

Oudekerksplein 23 Amsterdam

The Oude Kerk (Old Church)is the oldest monument in Amsterdam build in 1260.
More than three centuries had passed before the 'Oude Kerk" the earliest parish church Amsterdam attained its present form.   

The church has almost as many chapels as there have been building phases. The earliest building phase however is lost in the mist of time. Archaeologists think that the 'Amstelledammers, founded their first church at the turn of the 13th and 14th century .

The Oude Kerk is now a centre of cultural activities in the heart of the old town centre. The Oude Kerk has a total area of 4000 m2 open to visitors.
