10. The Amstelkerk - where Napoleon kept his horse
This intimate, 17th century, wooden church was only meant to be temporary; Napoleon is said to have kept his horse there. The church is still standing. It has wonderful acoustics and puts on numerous orchestral and chamber music recitals throughout the year. Photo: degroenegrachten.nl
