5/5
The oldest building in Amsterdam – the Oude Kerk (Old Church) still stands in all its glory, following many renovations, of course. The building itself no longer functions as a church, but rather it houses a cultural institution that is in charge of many exhibitions throughout the year. The space is wonderful for cultural events, and it is a favourite location to visit for both tourists and locals alike. Previously, the World Press Photo exhibition has been displayed in the Old Church, as well as the inauguration for the yearly ‘Museum Night’ – so you should check out their agenda online for any interesting upcoming shows. You can also take a guided tour to learn more about the building itself, and climb its tower (also the oldest high tower in the city). Definitely worth a visit (entrance fees are affordable, less than 10 euros).

    Old Church Square, oudekerksplein, located in the old city center of Amsterdam. To be exact, the square is in the center of Devalen district, walking distance from the famous dam square. As the name implies, the square is a square in front of the old church, and the old church is Oude Kerk; Although there are many old churches, the most famous for a wide range of tourists is this old church near the dam square. Walking through the red, paper drunken fans, suddenly seeing the old church square, it will not feel sudden. This is a place where the old and new sects, religions and seculars coexist, and it is also a place of appreciation for the elegant and popular. Tourists are like weaving, standing quietly, bustling, quiet...even someone is sleeping next to it, a painting of all beings on earth. The so-called republic, in my opinion, makes a good note here.

    The shape of the old church is quite special, not much different from the surrounding houses, but it can still be identified. I saw it on the edge of the canal and didn't go in to visit. It should be open to the public. If you are interested, you can go and see it.

    The churches in Amsterdam are not like the French side. They are relatively simple in style, and they are not very big, but they are quite beautiful. Many churches are located on the side of the canal. It is not clear whether the Catholic Church or the Christian Church are divided.

    A big church which is seen from a distance because of its tall structure. Found in Amsterdam just a few minutes walk in the center.

    The Old Church (Oude Kerk) is Amsterdam's oldest parish church, ordained by the Bishop of Utrecht in 1306. It stands in De Wallen, now Amsterdam's main red light district.

    Being able to see the distance through the window at the upper level makes the mood better
