A bit of history

The Oude Kerk, Amsterdam's oldest building, was consecrated in 1306 and became the center of a bustling medieval port district. By the 16th century, the area around the church had already gained a reputation for nightlife and trade, evolving over centuries into the city's designated Red Light District.
