Nieuwe Waalse Kerk, Protestant church on Keizersgracht, Amsterdam, Netherlands

The Nieuwe Waalse Kerk exhibits Romanesque Revival architecture with a rusticated base, five small towers, and symmetrical arched windows along the canal.

Built in 1856 under architect Abraham Nicolaas Godefroy's direction, the church replaced an earlier structure from 1719 that served French-speaking Protestant refugees.

The church transformed into an arts center named Artemis in 1989, incorporating dance and music studios while maintaining its architectural features.

Located at Keizersgracht 676, this national monument now functions as office space for an advertising production agency since 2012.

The interior features original cast-iron folding chairs designed by Godefroy that survived an 1861 fire that damaged much of the building.
