Zuiderkerk (Southern Church)

Built in 1611, the Zuiderkerk, or Southern Church, stands as Amsterdam’s first Protestant church and a significant historical landmark. Located in the heart of the city, its striking facade and distinctive bell tower have captured the attention of many, including Claude Monet, who painted the structure. Legend has it that Rembrandt also worked on his famous painting, The Night Watch, within these walls. Today, visitors can admire the church’s architectural beauty and explore its rich history, making it a notable stop for those interested in the city’s cultural and artistic heritage.
