Nieuwe Kerk

The Sint-Nicolaaskerk (old church) was inaugurated at the end of the 14th century. The building was damaged by the city's fire of 1421 and 1452, but more seriously by the fire of 1645, after which date most of the interior. After the Alteratia of 1578, the church became Protestant. The Nieuwe Kerk, since 1814, is used for royal investitures and weddings. Nowadays, it is also one of the main exhibition centres in Amsterdam.
