Amsterdam's oldest building surrounded by red-light windows — Rembrandt's wife is buried inside

Amsterdam's oldest building (consecrated 1306), improbably surrounded by red-light windows. Rembrandt's wife Saskia is buried here. The misericords (carved choir-stall seats) are bawdy — one depicts a man having his bottom wiped. Superb organ recitals on Friday afternoons.
