Amsterdam’s first church and its oldest building. The church’s history goes back to the Middle Ages, the cradle of the Golden Age. For centuries it has been one of the most characteristic and special buildings in the city, to which it is irrevocably connected. As a historical monument it programmes exhibitions of contemporary artists who combine past and present to create new perspectives. To this day, the Oude Kerk is more than just a place of religion. It plays a constant role in urban life. Since 1955, the monument has been managed by foundation De Oude Kerk and it has been a museum since 2016."

At the heart of the Jewish Cultural Quarter stands the majestic Portuguese Synagogue. The building is still used for religious services, but it is also open to the public. It hosts frequent candlelight concerts. Hundreds of candles illuminate the perfectly intact 17th-century interior. Visitors to the smaller buildings in the complex will find treasure chambers containing a unique collection of ceremonial objects made of silver, gold, brocade, and silk. The world’s oldest functioning Jewish library is also here: Ets Haim Livraria Montezinos, which is on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
