Photographer’s Note
Amsterdam's Westerkerk...
Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands was married in the Westerkerk, or "west church."
At 85 meters (272 feet) tall, the Westerkerk's tower is the highest in Amsterdam. It bears the symbol of the imperial crown of Maximilian of Austria, who gifted it to the city in thanks for the city's support.
Dutch master painter Rembrandt was buried in the church, although his grave has never been found.
