Round Lutherian Church / Amsterdam

Architect: Adriaan Dortsman (1635-82) in an austere Classical style with a round floorplan unusual for a Protestant church. It was opened in 1671 and has been recently restored, although no longer an active church. Made of brick, sandstone mouldings and a copper roof; the finial above the lantern depicts a swan, symbol of Lutheranism. Singel, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
