Zuiderkerk, Protestant church in Lastage district, Amsterdam, Netherlands

The Zuiderkerk features a 69-meter tower topped with a carillon of bells installed by the Hemony brothers in 1656.

Built between 1603 and 1611, the Zuiderkerk stands as the first Protestant church constructed in Amsterdam under architect Hendrick de Keyser's direction.

The church holds the burial sites of three of Rembrandt's children and his student Ferdinand Bol, reflecting its connection to Dutch art history.

The building now functions as an event venue for weddings, conferences, and concerts, with guided tower tours available from April through September.

Claude Monet created a series of paintings featuring the Zuiderkerk's spire and the Groenburgwal canal during his 1874 visit to Amsterdam.
