Oude Kerk is Amsterdam's oldest standing building and oldest parish church, founded around 1213 in what is today the Red Light District. This grand medieval Gothic basilica is celebrated for its expansive wooden barrel-vaulted roof, remarkable acoustics, and monumental stained glass windows. Thousands of historic gravestones pave its floor, including the tomb of Rembrandt's wife Saskia, while contemporary art exhibitions activate the nave.

Highlights

  • Amsterdam's oldest surviving monument featuring massive medieval wooden vaulting
  • Resting place of Rembrandt's beloved wife and artistic muse, Saskia van Uylenburgh
  • Monumental historic pipe organs and cutting-edge contemporary art installations
