A look at the Westerkerk, Amsterdam, Netherlands. The Westerkerk is one of the oldest and largest Protestant churches in the Netherlands, dating back to 1631.

The church's tower has inspired many songs and poems and remains a symbol of the city.

Rembrandt is buried in the church, but curiously no one knows precisely where.

Near the church and in view of the tower, Anne Fank wrote her diary in the Annex, her hiding place from the Nazis.

In 1966 Queen Beatrix and Prince Claus were married in the Westerkerk.
