Rising elegantly along the Prinsengracht canal, Westerkerk is a 17th-century Protestant church designed by Hendrick de Keyser, recognized for its soaring 85-meter tower, known as the Westertoren. A recognizable feature in Amsterdam’s cityscape, the church holds a rich history—Rembrandt was buried here, and the iconic bells once provided comfort to Anne Frank in her nearby hiding place. Visitors can climb the tower from spring to autumn, enjoying sweeping city views. Inside, the light-filled interior highlights a modest yet impressive design. Conveniently close to major sites, it’s an ideal spot to gain a sense of Amsterdam’s heritage before exploring nearby museums, canals, and cafés.
