Office in the Interior of the The Oude Church Amsterdam Netherlands.


Originally built in the 13th century out of wood but at the end of 13th century rebuilt to a stone church. Because the city grew rapidly, the Oude Kerk has been several times rebuilt and enlarged. The Oude Kerk interior was demolished during the events of August 1566, when Amsterdam population revolted against the Catholic Church. The traces of vandalism remain visible until today. During so called Alteration of 1578, the Oude Kerk became Reformed Protestant church, and as such remains until today.
