Oosterkerk, Renaissance church in Wittenburg district, Netherlands

The Oosterkerk features a Greek cross layout with four equal-length wings, heavy pillars, and a dome tower at the roof intersection point.

Built between 1669 and 1671, architects Daniel Stalpaert and Adriaan Dortsman designed this church during Amsterdam's fourth city expansion phase.

The church interior contains symbolic panels representing Faith, Hope, and Love on the pulpit, with a frieze bearing 'Prudentes et Innocentes' inscription.

Located at Kleine Wittenburgerstraat 1, the Oosterkerk serves as a cultural center following its restoration in 1978 after years of abandonment.

Within the church walls rest approximately 500 individuals, including the remains of its architect Adriaan Dortsman beneath the stone floor.
