I love visiting churches and really wanted to visit this one but it was quite disappointing. €13,50 for an almost empty church is in my opinion really expensive. The stained glass windows were very beautiful and, together with the ceiling, the best thing about the church. I wanted to go there for the historic significance but I felt like they could do more to tell us about it, definitely for the price that you're paying.

Fantastic church to visit, friendly staff at entrance and a cool little audio guide which taps on various wall points to tell you more. The restoration work on two stained glass windows is almost complete so you can climb the scaffolding to get up close and also enjoy a view from on high, but if you're scared of heights there is also one on ground level to see. We didn't book in advance and had no wait.

Really pretty and interesting museum in the church. You get an audio guide included in your ticket which explains more about the history and extra brochures about current exhibition. Overall great experience.

Oude Kerk - the old church, placed in the middle of the Red Neighberhood. In restauration works for now but it can be visited
Wonderful stained glass windows and one of the biggest organs. A beautiful message can be taken by those who walk on the pebbles way. If you pay attention on the flyer received at the entrance you'll can discover Rembrandt's wife tomb.
Interesting work of the Iranian artist who made pots with footprints of the old buildings.
There is also a souvenirs shop.
