Simply church with beautiful statue and cemetery of noble families or famous persons, entrance ticket fee 9 Euro. The staff are warmly welcome and hospitality. There are self-audio guide instrument and room for storage the big bag or jacket. Not wonderful or beautiful as I expected. Toilet is not free. If you have a limited time, I suggest Royal palace Amsterdam instead of this or you may skip this place for anothers.
Beautiful historic church demonstrating some of the most beautiful architectural feats. You get to see the church and the exhibits within for the same ticket. Audio guides are available as well. This is truly an amazing site to see. The beauty is overwhelming at times and the architecture and what was accomplished centuries ago by men without modern tools is truly amazing. Make sure you swing in here for a brief go around when you are visiting.
I loved the huge impressive area of the New Church, and it was interesting seeing the 'family burials' rooms around the inside (many with closed doors). The gift store was extensive - I couldn't resist several containers of hilarious 'Last Supper" mints - don't miss them!
To give an honest opinion, the church isn't that unique unless you know your Dutch history. It contains the graves of some of the most iconic Dutch admirals of the 17th century but other than that, it doesn't have any features that stand out from other churches. I have seen several exhibitions and I am always a bit underwhelmed by the experience. It lacks depth and a certain engagement with the audience. At the time of this review, they are showing and exhibition about the Dutch Royal family. It consists ofan audio tour with some projected images. There is a better complete experience at the Palace on Dam square.
We visited the church during the World Press Photo 2020. The exposition was really interesting and you can get the audio guide with the insights of some photographers directly from your phone. Towards the end there are also some short documentaries focused on current social/environmental issues in different places of the world.
The church is beautiful but it’s owned by private investors now that rent it out for functions. The have taken remains from the burial spaces below the floor and moved them to a different location in the city. Then the burial slabs were turned over so that the ground is more even for high heeled shoes to walk on. It’s always a shame to see these historic spaces prostituted out. The entry fee was steep as well and not a good value for what is offered.
I was like, damn Jesus! Yo crib is awesome. You live here for real? Fancy, well located and good old structure. How much is the rent? This is Amsterdam, you know. Those mts² ain't cheap, dog. Anyway, looking forward for your birthday and Santa's. I loved the place, by the way
