There is absolutely NOTHING to see inside, a look from outside is more than enough. My friends and I bought tickets for ca. 10€ and we weren't event told that the church was on maintenance! (As if there was something to see)

This church is located dead smack in the middle of the Red Light District (RLD) which is a particularly odd place for a church, although it makes confessing to one's sins much easier. Jokes aside, the architecture of this place is to admire. I also read that it is open for tourists to enter at certain times.

Awesome place to visit, we got in "free" with our Iamsterdam cards, so not sure how much admission is. Amazing carvings on the floors. Beautiful stained windows and great picture opportunities.

Very old church with spectacular views of Central Amsterdam. The organ inside is really nice to check out.

A beautiful church, everyone should find sometime and sit inside for 15-30 mins, just to think about nothing and immense the atmosphere.

I was so excited to go here and showed up to see this beautiful building. We paid our money and were told after the fact 'don't step on the gold sheets' as it was part of an exhibition.

This church has a number of amazing carvings on the floor with historical significance. They were nearly entirely covered up by literal sheets of stupid gold foil which had tiny spaces between them to walk. It was absolutely ridiculous. For someone who is semi disabled I couldn't walk easily around and couldn't see the point of this 'exhibition' as there wasn't even any info about why it was there or what it signified.

Entry to the site was expensive and with the organ completely disassembled and also nearly the entire floor covered there was nothing to see in this church.

It was disgusting. I wanted to rip the gold foil off the floor. It was totally inappropriate in a place of worship. Every carving of historical significance was covered up by someone's 'art' - you know the type of 'art' that makes you feel like a 5 year old threw a bunch of stuff at something and you had to pretend to like it.

Don't even bother visiting this beautiful and amazing building until this ridiculous 'exhibition' is gone. Unless you literally want to see sheets of gold foil lining the floor.

I'm dead serious. It's a total waste of money at the moment and there are far better attractions to see in Amsterdam.

The oldest building of Amsterdam. Take your time with this one. To take in the atmosphere: the history of Amsterdam. Read the information you get or take the audio tour. It's a gem that's not really well known yet by the big crowds.

The surrounding is usually too busy but the church itself is very cozy and calm.

Impressive church in the middle of Amsterdam, right next to De Wallen. A must see on any visit to the city!

The old church wasn't on our main attraction list, but having seen a lot of advertising for the Marinus Boezem exhibition, we thought it was worth a visit. The church is incomplete in its fittings so that's the first unusual aspect. There are some spectacular aspects to it and our thoughts were that it was a fantastic venue for an exhibition. That's where it was let down. Boezems broken mirrors and voile labyrinth did nothing for my view of modern art. In fact the labyrinth blocked the view a couple of the few remaining stained glass windows. The thing that was more thought provoking was the missing organ. Only the fantastic wooden structure that would have held all the pipework remained.

“Amsterdam’s best kept secret”
Amsterdam’s Oude Kerk is one of the city’s best kept secrets. It is the oldest building established in 1306 and a must see for historians. There are some 12,000 graves and around 2500 gravestones. One of the more famous graves is that of
Saskia Uylenburgh she was Rembrandt’s wife. The intricate work done on the pillars, the carvings on the wood and the stonework is so beautiful, the colour from the majestic stain glass windows is vivid and life like. I often look at buildings and structures of this age and wonder how the logistics were carried out eg how did they manage to get the building materials so high without cranes? How long did the craftsman take to perform their crafts? Etc. I really love to see the history of these buildings and I think you would too.
