| | | | In the 17th Century Zuiderkerk in the heart of the city centre, visitors get a chance to see a detailed picture of the city plann-ing and housing in Amsterdam through the centuries. The permanent section of the exhibition gives a complete view of the urban development of the city from the Middle Ages up until the present day. Temporary exhibitions are also put on concerning new plans for the city - the area around the IJ-riverbanks, for example.The renovation of the city and supplementary housing construction in Amsterdam are clearly illustrated by means of scale-models, slides, drawings and photos. Several architectural walks through Amsterdam are available here in a number of languages. The folders, which accompany this exhibition, are produced in Dutch and English.The Zuiderkerk was built between 1602-1611 as the first Protestant Church in Holland by the Amsterdam city architect Hendrick de Keyser. The church, built in the Dutch Renaissance style has a magnificent church tower with a carillon built by the famous 17th Century bell-founder Francois Hemony.Entrance to the Zuiderkerk is free; open Monday to Friday from 12.00 - 17.00, and on Thursdays also from 18.00 - 20.00. The Zuiderkerk is located at Zuiderkerkhof 72 (near St Anthoniebreestraat). |
