Frequently Asked Questions

Admission grants access to the current temporary exhibition, the historic 15th-century church interior, and the main nave where the famous organ is located.

Most visitors spend between 60 and 90 minutes viewing the temporary exhibitions and the permanent architectural features of the building.

The venue primarily hosts large-scale cultural exhibitions focusing on photography, world cultures, and historical artifacts rather than traditional religious displays.

The main entrance is situated on Dam Square directly next to the Royal Palace, which is a ten-minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station or accessible via multiple tram lines stopping at Dam.

While children are welcome, the focus on cultural exhibitions and quiet historical appreciation makes it better suited for older children, teenagers, and adults.

The main exhibition floors and nave are fully wheelchair accessible via ramps and elevators, though the upper organ loft and certain historical balconies are not.

Weekday mornings right after opening offer the lowest foot traffic, whereas weekends and holiday afternoons are typically the busiest due to the central Dam Square location.

Visitors must store large backpacks and luggage in the provided cloakroom lockers, so it is recommended to bring only small handbags or essentials into the exhibition spaces.

Tickets are valid for a single continuous visit on the selected date and do not permit re-entry once you have exited the building.

Non-flash photography for personal use is generally permitted in the main church nave, but restrictions often apply inside specific temporary exhibition galleries depending on the lenders' rules.

The New Church is a church in Amsterdam, also known as the Coronation Hall. It is famous for the coronation of Dutch kings and queens since 1815. Now the church has become a local exhibition venue or a venue for organ performances, and no longer holds services. The historical background church is located on the southwest side of Dam Square, next to the Royal Palace of Amsterdam. Built in 1408, due to the increasing population, the old church was not enough, so a second parish church was established. After two fires in 1421 and 1452, the church was almost completely destroyed in a catastrophic fire in 1645. After several repairs, more neo-Gothic elements were added in the reconstruction, and the whole building became the Gothic style seen today. Coronation site Since 1815, the new church has served as the coronation site for the previous kings and queens of the Netherlands. The wedding and coronation ceremony of the current king of the Netherlands, Willem-Alexander, were held here. Exhibition venue Today the church has become an exhibition venue or a venue for organ performances. Exhibitions with different themes are held in it every year. For specific exhibition information, please pay attention to the official website. In addition, there is a cafe and souvenir shop in the church, where you can rest or buy gifts such as postcards after visiting the exhibition.

The New Church offers wheelchair access to most areas including the main nave and exhibition spaces. Accessible restrooms are available on-site for visitors with mobility needs.
