The Luther Museum Amsterdam is housed in the Wittenberg building on the Nieuwe Keizersgracht. Built in 1772 as a Lutheran almshouse for elderly men and women, it cared for the poor, the elderly and orphans. The building itself, with its regents’ rooms, corridor and church hall, is the main exhibit.
You discover the story of the Lutherans in Amsterdam and the Netherlands, their faith and care for one another. The heritage collection includes paintings by Breenbergh and Ruisdael, silver and original furniture, much of it still used by the Lutheran community.
Opening hours: Wednesday to Sunday, 11:00–17:00. A 5–10 minute walk from the Artis tram stop. There is a lift inside, but the entrance has stone steps: contact the museum in advance if you need the lift.
