Nieuwe Kerk

Consecrated in 1409, the late-Gothic Nieuwe Kerk (nieuwekerk.nl; adult/child from €7.50/6.25) 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. The church is the site of royal investitures and weddings. Check the agenda for exhibitions and concerts. The annual photojournalism and documentary exhibition World Press Photo takes place here from mid-April to mid-September.
