Petruskerk, Protestant church in Sloterdijk, Netherlands.

The Petruskerk stands alongside the A10 ring road in Amsterdam, featuring a medieval facade and a bell tower behind the Spaarndammerdijk.

The current church structure was built in 1663 under churchwarden Jan Claesz van Dijk's initiative, incorporating a 15th-century tower into its design.

The grandparents of painter Vincent van Gogh celebrated their marriage at Petruskerk in 1811, connecting the church to Dutch artistic heritage.

The church functions as a wedding venue and maintains several monumental tombs from the 17th century within its cemetery grounds.

The church survived extensive urban development, including the construction of Sloterdijk station and Coentunnelweg, remaining a historical landmark among modern infrastructure.
