Top Community centers in Amsterdam, Netherlands

An ancient church elegantly presented in Darwinian architectural style. I think it will be more beautiful in summer.

A fantastic place to host events. It's quite big with easy access by public transport. It has two stories so you can break the event in different parts and levels.

Beautiful venue for events, high ceilings. I was there at a Fashion show. Don’t know if it is generally open but for rent for events must be great.

friendly peaple, nice atmosphere..well-heated hall, good sandwiches and a phenomenal night with Žužek and other friends

The Zuiderkerk, or South Church, is a historic church located in the southern part of the city center of Amsterdam, Netherlands. Here are some key points about the Zuiderkerk:

1. **Architectural Significance:** The Zuiderkerk is one of Amsterdam's most distinctive churches, known for its Renaissance-style architecture. It was designed by the renowned Dutch architect Hendrick de Keyser.

2. **Construction:** The church was constructed between 1603 and 1611. Its tower, which offers panoramic views of Amsterdam, was added later in 1614.

3. **Function:** Originally built as a Protestant church, the Zuiderkerk served as a place of worship for the local community.

4. **Interior and Art:** The interior of the church features a classic Dutch Protestant design. Notable artworks, including an organ built by renowned organ builder Christian Vater, contribute to the church's cultural and historical significance.

5. **Location:** The Zuiderkerk is situated in the Nieuwmarkt area, near the Amstel River and within walking distance of popular Amsterdam attractions.

6. **Cultural Events:** Today, the Zuiderkerk is no longer used as a church for regular services. However, it is often used for cultural events, concerts, and exhibitions. I myself went to an Ukranian Concert

The old church became a venue for conferences and concerts! Learning new things and visiting one of the oldest area of Amsterdam at the same time! This place is beautiful and huge to hold big conferences with a lot of attendees.

The Zuiderkerk was the city's first church built specifically for Protestant services. It was constructed at the start of the 17th century.

The church had special meaning for the painter Rembrandt. Three of Rembrandt's children were buried in the Zuiderkerk and one of Rembrandt's most famous pupils, was buried in the Zuiderkerk in 1680.

Definitely worth the visit when going from the Nieuwmarkt to Waterlooplein Market

A very wonderful place to visit ! The show inside is so vivid !
The show was projected on the cathedral's walls, and the storyline was really well told and designed, the show lasted for one hour and the number of people was limited so one can really sit and enjoy the show.
