Ronde Lutherse Kerk

The Ronde Lutherse Kerk or Koepelkerk is a former Lutheran church in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on the Singel canal. The church can be easily seen from the Singel, identified by its copper dome.The church was designed by Adriaan Dortsman and was opened in 1671. In 1822 the church was nearly destroyed; it was rebuilt in 1826. The organ was built by J Batz in 1830, and restored in 1983 by Flentrop Orgelbouw. In 1935 the Lutherans left the building and it became a concert hall. The neighboring Renaissance Amsterdam Hotel rents the church building from the Lutheran Church. In 1975 a tunnel was built by the hotel to access the church. In 1983 the church was closed for restoration, but in 1993 the dome caught fire, and the church was again restored.
