Oude Kerk | Amsterdam's oldest church

📍Oude Kerk | Amsterdam's Oldest Church

A surprisingly tranquil place in the heart of the Red Light District.
The 14th-15th century religious paintings on the wooden ceiling are masterpieces of the Northern Renaissance, softly illuminated by the light.
Also not to be missed are the misericord carvings carved into the undersides of the choir seats.
These sculptures are filled with medieval humor, from a monk showing his buttocks to the devil to satirical animals, but keep your eyes peeled for the church's feet!
