Nieuwe Kerk Description
In Korte Annastraat, which opens off the Raamvest, stands the Nieuwe Kerk, a square brick building. After the destruction of the original church by fire a new church in the same style was built by Jacob van Campen (1645-49), incorporating the graceful Renaissance tower by Lieven de Key (1613). A notable feature of the interior is the magnificent Baroque marble tomb of William of Orange (by Hendrick and Pieter de Keyser, 1614). In the churchyard adjoining the church are the graves of the painters Jacob van Ruisdael and Philips Wouwerman.
