    From the medieval stained-glass windows to the monumental organs and the many remarkable gravestones of, among others, Saskia van Uylenburgh and Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck. A guided tour of the highlights of Amsterdam’s oldest building and more than seven centuries of (urban) history.

  • Series B: A unique interplay between art and heritage
    For centuries, the Oude Kerk has been a home for artists and musicians. Today, we continue to commission artists and musicians to create new work for the Oude Kerk. Learn more about the current exhibition.
