Lonely Planet review

Near the Pintohuis, a passageway through the modern Pentagon housing estate leads to the Zuiderkerk, the 'Southern Church' built by Hendrick de Keyser . His tower, 1m off plumb, dates from 1614. This was the first custom-built Protestant church in Amsterdam - still Catholic design but no choir. The final church service was held here in 1929 and at the end of WWII it served as a morgue.

Now thoroughly modern inside, the Zuiderkerk houses the Municipal Centre for Physical Planning and Public Housing, displays on urban planning and the occasional art exhibition.
