The New Church

De Dam, 1012 NP Amsterdam

★★★★☆ 4.2

About

Located in the heart of Amsterdam’s Dam Square, The New Church (Nieuwe Kerk) impresses visitors with its grand Gothic architecture and historical significance as the site of royal coronations and weddings. Guests consistently praise its striking exterior and the quality of rotating art and history exhibitions inside, noting the ambiance created by soaring stained glass and high vaulted ceilings. However, some visitors are disappointed by the unadorned interior and feel that the admission price is high for what is essentially an exhibition space rather than a richly decorated church. Expect a culturally rich setting, but manage expectations for interior grandeur.

  • Iconic Gothic architecture
