This was Amsterdam’s first protestant church, built by Hendrick de Keyser in 1603-1611. The church no longer functions as such & it now houses the Municipal Centre for Physical Panning & Public Housing. What is special is a guided tour up the tour Wed – Sat, June – Sept 2pm,3pm & 4pm this is done by students & lasts 30min. The tour takes you to the top of the tower, with 160 stairs to climb but with many rest spots. The guide shows you the clock mechanisms & the 3 bells at the top of tower. Volunteer bell ringers ring the bells & the there is a definite art form in bell ringing.
There are great views over the city & your guide will point out some key buildings. It was rather rainy when I went up so the photo’s are a bit dark but well worth the experience. Entrance is Euro Leave a Comment Directions: Off St Antoniestraat near Pintohuis

 Zuiderkerk by tompt
The Zuiderkerk is designed by Hendrick de Keyser and is build in 1603-1611. It was the first church especially for the reformed.
Since 1988 it is the info center for city planning and living in Amsterdam. Leave a Comment

Built in 1611, the Southern Church was the first church commissioned by the Protestant community. The church is wonderfully preserved and is featured prominently in paintings (e.g. by Claude Monet). Leave a Comment

 Amsterdam: Zuiderkerk by OlafS
You can also climb the tower. It'll cost you three euros. A bit expensive I think. Leave a Comment Directions: Location: Zuiderkerkhof

This beautiful spire with clock adorns the Zuider Kerk (South Church) built in 1603, it still stands visible between all the newer structures.
What I found on the internet:
The Zuiderkerk, built between 1603 and 1611 (tower completed 1614) was the first Protestant church to be built in Amsterdam after the Reformation. Its architect was Hendrik de Keyzer, who is also buried here, according to a memorial with verses by Joost van den Vondel. The rectangular basilica-type triple nave church, with six sets of coffer-vaulting, originally had 16 stained-glass windows, but these were removed as early as 1658 to let more light in. The Zuiderkerk ceased to be a church in 1929 and its art treasures were then stored elsewhere. (at http://www.planetware.com/amsterdam/south-church-nl-nh-zuikrk.htm)
Sorry to say that the Zuider Kerk website does not support any language except Dutch. Leave a Comment
