Oudekerkstoren, Gothic steeple in De Wallen, Netherlands.

The Oudekerkstoren reaches 67 meters high and features a wooden spire with a system of 47 bells within its Renaissance structure.

The construction of the tower began in the 13th century as part of a stone hall church, replacing an earlier wooden chapel in Amsterdam.

The carillon bells mark important events and daily life moments for the Amsterdam community, continuing a centuries-old tradition.

The tower entrance is on the western side of the church at Oudekerksplein 23, accessible via multiple tram lines stopping at Dam Square.

The structure served as a navigation point for ships on the Amstel River and includes different levels with exposed wooden internal architecture.
