Oude Kerk Amsterdam

Oudekerksplein 23, 1012 GX Amsterdam

Amsterdam's oldest building, a medieval church with sixty thousand burials beneath its floor and the largest wooden vault in Europe.

This guide to the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam follows Rembrandt van Rijn, who buried his wife Saskia van Uylenburgh in this church floor in 1642, and the debts that caught up with him two decades later after Amsterdam's Town Hall rejected a major commission he had staked everything on. Her stone still bears her name among the roughly sixty thousand Amsterdammers resting under the floor. Look down as you cross it - it's still there to find.
