Het Singel met de Ronde Lutherse Kerk

Protestants who are not Calvinists are free to practise their religion. Around 1670 the Lutherans build their second large church in Amsterdam. The Calvinists do not allow them to have a tower, hence the huge dome. The roof is clad with Swedish copper, on which the Swedish king waives the tax. It is a present from a fellow Lutheran.
