Zuiderkerk

The church played an important part in the life of Rembrandt and was the subject of a painting by Claude Monet.

De Keyser designed the church as a pseudo-basilica in Gothic style,[2] with a central nave and two lower side aisles, six bays long, with Tuscan columns, timber barrel vaults and dormers.

The richly detailed tower is a square stone substructure, on which an octagonal sandstone section stands with free-standing columns on the corners.

Since June 2006, the church also houses the "Wall of Fame", a homage to Dutch celebrities who have made a positive contribution to society, such as charitable work.

The honourees include Amsterdam mayor Job Cohen, renowned former soccer player Johan Cruijff and four-time Olympic swimming champion Inge de Bruijn.
