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.

I prefer here in the Netherlands to Amsterdam.
Many people travel to the Netherlands🇳🇱
Or go to Amsterdam to enjoy windmills and tulips🌷
Or explore unique architecture in Rotterdam
And I prefer this low-key small city-Delft (Delft)
It is small in area but has a long history. It is famous for its canals, ancient buildings, blue porcelain craftsmanship and Delft University of Technology.

Main attractions:
✅Canals: Delft’s old town has many ancient buildings interspersed with the canal network, with charming scenery. Among them, the Oude Delft (Old Delft Canal) is the oldest canal and is considered the origin of the city.
✅Old Church Oude Kerk: The old church built in the 13th century is famous for its sloping bell tower. The clock tower tilted due to unstable foundations during the early stages of construction, but was ultimately preserved and became a unique landmark in Delft.
✅New Church Nieuwe Kerk: A new church built at the end of the 14th century. The founder of the Netherlands, William I, and subsequent members of the royal family are buried in the basement. Visitors can tour the interior of the church and even climb the tower for panoramic views of Delft.
✅Town Hall Stadhuis: The Town Hall is located opposite the New Church. The existing building was rebuilt in the 17th century and is surrounded by a 13th-century bell tower. It was once a prison.
✅Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles (Royal Delft): The blue porcelain factory started in the 17th century is the only existing blue porcelain factory in the city. It is hand-painted using ancient techniques. There is also a museum area in the factory.
✅East City Gate Oostpoort: The East City Gate, built around the beginning of the 15th century, is an existing part of the ancient city wall of Delft and has typical Dutch city gate characteristics.

Delft in spring is like a vivid oil painting
Full of poetry and vitality
Trees 🌱 sprout buds and flowers 🌸 bloom
☁️White clouds float freely in the blue sky
People rowing on the canal 🚣🏻♀️ laughed loudly
Animals are relaxing on the grass, and passers-by are relaxing on the seats
The old city gate stands quietly in the distance, witnessing the precipitation of history.
Being there, forgetting your worries, leaving only physical and mental pleasure

I really love this museum. The way they set up exhibition is great. The line is clear, the vibe is calm, and you can use the tool to hear the interpretation by easily tapping a remote to the black point side to each display. The level of detail of exhibition was amazing. Definitely will go to the next event.
You should visit this place too ☺️😉😁
