Oude Kerk

De Wallen · Church (1306) · $

The city grew up around this church. I love that it never moved; the sin district formed around a 700-year-old sanctuary, not the reverse.

Amsterdam's oldest building, consecrated around 1306, now standing incongruously in the middle of the Red Light District. Rembrandt's wife is buried inside.
