Westerkerk, Protestant church tower in canal district, Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Westertoren stands 85 meters tall, dominating Amsterdam's skyline with its white stone structure and imperial crown spire at the top.
Construction of the Westertoren concluded in 1638, remaining under municipal ownership and displaying the national flag during significant city celebrations.
The tower contains 51 bells in its carillon, with weekly musical performances every Tuesday from noon to one o'clock.
Access to the viewing platform requires climbing steep steps without elevator access, and children under six years old cannot enter.
The top section of the tower incorporates wooden construction covered with sandstone and lead materials, making it structurally distinct.
