Nieuwe Kerk

Consecrated in 1409, this late-Gothic church is only "new" in relation to the Oude Kerk – the city's Old Church, built a century earlier. A few monumental items dominate the spartan interior – a magnificent carved oak chancel, a bronze choir screen, a 1645-installed pipe organ and enormous stained-glass windows. It's the site of royal investitures and weddings; the building is otherwise used for exhibitions and concerts. The annual photojournalism and documentary exhibition World Press Photo takes place here.
