Ouderkerk aan de Amstel
-
There was no church in town until 1330 (see Oude Kerk), so people came instead to this picturesque riverside village to worship at the 11th-century Oude Kerk that stood here until it was destroyed by a storm in 1674. Convivial waterside cafés and restaurants are the chief lure these days, but you can also walk in the wooded garden of an 18th-century house, Wester Amstel, and visit an unexpected site: the Beth Haim Jewish cemetery. Amsterdam’s Jews have been buried here since 1615, when they were forbidden burial in the city.
