Neighbourhood: Centrum
Amsterdam’s buzzing hub, with its sprawling network of tram rails and a seemingly constant flow of tourists and commuters, yields convenient access to some of the best sightseeing, shopping, and street life in Europe. Closest at hand are the Royal Palace, the quaint shops of Haalremmerdijk, the pedestrianized zones Kalverstraat and Dam Square with popular neighborhoods such as the Red Light District, and the Canal Ring hardly more than a moment’s stroll away. With the well-connected Centraal Station as Centrum’s base, it's easy to travel farther afield via one of the city’s iconic trams.

It is one of so many churches in Amsterdam. The church is open for the public for a couple hours on Saturday and Monday round 11.00 am-01.00 pm and of course on Sunday, also in the evening for the services. It is quite big but looks empty inside. What I mean empty is no statues or painting like the catholic churches. It is not a must visit one.

Noorderkerk was a typical Protestant Church around Jordaan. Nothing special about this church. Instead, the Saturday Market in the vicinity would rather attract more visitors who want to buy their groceries particularly cheese.

Picture is of the Noordermarkt, and not of the church, which is a dime a dozen in the Netherlands. If you're a church-addict, it's OK, but if not, don't bother.

Love coming to the Noordermarkt on a Saturday to get my organic groceries and browse the antique and clothing stalls.

The north market located at the North Church is open on Saturday's and if you are in Amsterdam on a Saturday this is a "must see" destination. The market offers a great variety of cheese, bread and vegetable vendors. If you like fresh oysters you can find a great selection, everything from local (north sea) oysters to Irish and other types, always fresh and always delicious. There is also a great wild mushroom stand that is amazing. Try the cheese and bread stalls as well. You won't be disappointed, it is not a huge market and can be done in about an hour so will fit well into your visit without consuming an entire day.

My twin brother Stephen and I were wandering around the Jordaan Distict when we came across the huge market held here and after purchasing a few items in the market,mostly some cheeses to go with my beers I had bought in De Bierkoning,we came across this superb church and what a beautiful building this is.
This 17 century church has a very pleasing on the eye exterior and a rather plain but beautiful interior,the church makes for some wonderful photographic opportunities and if your in the market area here Noorderkerk ( North Church ) is well worth a visit.
The church is found on Noordermarkt.

Noorderkerk is a small Protestant church in the northern area of Jordaan, along the Prinsengracht. While there isn't much to see within the church, it is interesting from an architectural point of view. Opening hours 10am to 6.30pm (October 2016).
This church was built between 1620-23 by Dutch architects, Hendrick and Pieter de Keyser. It is symmetrical and laid out in the shape of a Greek cross, demonstrating Protestant ideals over traditional basilica shape and design of other Hendrick de Keyser churches like Westerkerk and Zuiderkerk. The exterior can be viewed nicely from the Noorderkerk market grounds just outside the church and by walking around the building.
The interior of Noorderkerk is very simple with white walls and ceilings devoid of painting and decor, tall and narrow windows with clear panes, simple iron chandeliers, pulpit and a centre stall area where services are held. The organ is presently covered, seemingly for repair. You can take a quick walk around and see everything in just a few minutes.
In the end, Noorderkerk is a simple church that is fine to visit if you plan to be in this area of Jordaan and enjoy historic buildings. There is a open food market, Noordermarkt, held in the space just outside the church on Saturdays. A combined visit is sensible and convenient.

In this church they hold little concerts on some Satrdy afternoons. Most of the time very good musicians. The concert last about one hour. We listened to the Schubert octet bij musicians of the Royal Concertgebouw(concerthall) Orchestra. Beautiful.
