I'm currently busy making a Dutch version of my website, as I am Dutch and just thought it was only good sense to make one in my native language. And you know, my fellow Dutchmen should enjoy Dutch architecture just as well. In our own language, that is.
So I don't have much time to do a proper blog post, so I thought I'd share some photos from last weekend instead. It was SO much fun! I learned SO much. On Saturday we stayed here in The Hague, on Sunday we did Amsterdam. Saturday was unfortunately very rainy (not a good thing if you decided you'd bike your way through the city) but Sunday was sunny and dry. And even though it rained (and we did take our beloved bicycles) we managed to visit 13 buildings! Damn. We saw less in Amsterdam though, as the canal houses were very small and could only allow ±25 people at a time = loooong queues. But totally worth it. (And now we know that we should go a little earlier next year ;))

So this weekend is Open Monument weekend in the Netherlands (aka National Heritage Days) and man, am I excited ;D
This week I'll show you which monuments are in my opinion worthwhile to visit, and each post is dedicated to a different city. Today I present you: Amsterdam!

I am a huge fan of Dutch 19th century architect Pierre Cuypers. He is most famous for designing Amsterdam Central Station and the Rijksmuseum, but I mostly love his churches. It's probably because I love churches in general and am a general lover of brick buildings. His buildings are often bright and don't shy away from colour, as you can see here in the Dominicus church. 
This church is the only one in Amsterdam that has all the original furniture. Also, the flat roof is pretty uncommon for a church (I think?) and the construction of it is also pretty unique.

Address: Spuistraat 12
Opening Hours: Saturday 14 September 10.00 - 17.00 and Sunday 15 September 13:00 - 17:00
How to get there: It's a 6 minute walk from Central Station
