Beyond the individuals in the grave monuments? Who else is buried in the church?
Over the last centuries, an estimated 60.000 people have been buried in the Oude Kerk. Some of these individuals are well-known, many others, however, have been (almost) forgotten, as not much proof of their presence on earth has survived. And so, important stories have been lost. Stories that would have told us about daily life in Amsterdam throughout the ages, and how this developed over the last centuries. Oude Kerk believes that these accounts are highly important and therefore we want to emphasize the immense blind spots that the archive contains.
