Is Oude Kerk worth it solo?

Worth itSolo

Solo, Oude Kerk works.

A fascinating collision of medieval gravity and modern art set amid the red-lit windows — the vast wooden ceiling and surprising installations make it more than a church visit. The catch: it leans heavily into contemporary art that can clash with the historic fabric, and as a paid church it's not for everyone.
