Nieuwe Kerk - Amsterdan, NH, NL - Satellite Imagery Oddities on Waymarking.com

"The Nieuwe Kerk is a 15th-century church in Amsterdam, consecrated in 1409, and located on Dam Square, next to the Royal Palace.

After the Oude Kerk ("Old Church") grew too small for the expanding population of the town, the bishop of Utrecht gave permission to build a second parish church, the Nieuwe Kerk ("New Church"). Construction on began in 1380 and finished in 1408. This new church was consecrated, in 1409, to St. Mary and St. Catharine, and the first services were held in 1410.
The church was damaged by the city fires of 1421 and 1452 and burned down almost entirely in 1645, after which it was rebuilt in Gothic style. It underwent major renovation in 1892–1914, which added many neo-Gothic details, and was again renovated in 1959–80. The second renovation proved expensive for the Dutch Reformed Church, forcing the church to be closed most of the time in order to save money on maintenance. To keep the church open, ownership was transferred in 1979 to a newly formed cultural foundation called the Nationale Stichting De Nieuwe Kerk."
