Westerkerk is one of the Amsterdam’s best-known and most-photographed landmarks. It is a Protestant church from the 17th century and it is the largest church in the city. The church is located in the picturesque Jordaan neighbourhood of Amsterdam, and is very close to the Anne Frank House. Westerkerk is mentioned quite a few times in her diary and its bells are heard ringing out across the Jordaan.
