In the roof gable of the nieuwe kerk, which faces the dam, is this sundial. Shown are the numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3 and 4 in golden color. Also in golden color is the metal bar for reading the time.
"The sundial at the Nieuwe Kerk on the Dam played a very special role for a long time, and until the end of the 19th century, all the city clocks were placed after it."
