BEAUTIFUL church (and contemporary arts center!!). I got a mini-tour by one of the very informed staff members at the entrance desk - learned how the church was previously Catholic, then Protestant as a result of the Reformation. Rembrandt's first wife is buried there, and the church also contains Rembrandt's wedding certificate. After all the ornate, gilded churches I saw in Rome, this was a welcome visual shift. Also, I happened upon this church by accident - had not been on my itinerary but HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I got the impression that the place is a bit underrated. I really enjoyed the visit. The audio guide was very helpful, giving an interesting perspective on city history. The building itself is amazing piece of history.

An experience a little less common, I enjoyed my visit at the Oude Kerk immensely. It's obvious through the (free) audio guided tour that much effort has been put into documenting this important place in Amsterdam history & making this historical information available to all. Perfect for a Sunday museum tour!

This is a great choice for your Amsterdam City card list of attractions. The church has lots of history. What makes this experience unique are the floor tiles. Take the time to listen to the audio guide for the best experience.

This is a beautiful building. My sons (5 & 3) had a nice time with the challenging scavenger hunt. My 5 year old enjoyed the Garden of Scars video. I thought it might be a quick trip for kids so young but they explored and peered and made rubbings for over an hour. I could spend longer looking in detail at the stones adorning the floor.
Parent note: the prize for the scavenger hunt was disappointing. They were offered a free eraser. They hoped they'd get a coloring poster like they did from Van Gogh and Cobra. Bring your own prize.
OH we WERE given free paper binoculars for looking at the stones and ceiling. They still really like those.

Worth the visit! I found the stained glass crests very interesting. Oh and the vaulted wooden ceiling clearly unique.

A nice building, very simple inside, but still impressive. They charged for some sort of exhibition... never saw it.

A must see in Amsterdam, the oldest building in the city. It has an excellent audio tour that explains the history of the church and the city of Amsterdam. The building and its history are amazing, this was one of my favorite things we did on our trip.
