The Westerkerk was built at the beginning of the 17th C by Hendrick de Keijser. On the clock tower you can make out a rooster, the symbol for Calvinist churches.
Also on top of the tower there’s a crown. This crown is part of the coat of arms of Amsterdam, which you can see below the clock.
Zutphen was one of the members of the Hanseatic League, you can find historic buildings around every corner!
If you are planning a trip to the Netherlands, be sure to include a visit to cities like Zutphen, Deventer, Kampen and Zwolle.
