The Amstelkerk is a Reformed church building in central Amsterdam, Netherlands. It lies in the southern part of the Grachtengordel neighborhood, near the Amstel River, between the Prinsengracht, Reguliersgracht and Keizersgracht. The church was designed by Daniël Stalpaert and was originally intended as a wooden emergency church, erected to provide for church services in the fourth Golden Age extension of Amsterdam laid out in 1662, but it was never replaced by a more permanent building. The church was expanded several times starting in 1673 with annexes built of stone. The interior originally had a very modest appearance, but was replaced by a neogothic design by Hendrik Springer in 1842. In the early 19th century, plans were drawn up, but never executed, to build the Dutch Mint in the square next to church. The church was bought by Stadsherstel Amsterdam in the late 1980s, which completed renovations in 1990.

The Zeeman Laboratory is a former physics laboratory at Plantage Muidergracht, number 4, in the Dutch town of Amsterdam. The laboratory, which belonged to the University of Amsterdam, was completed as Laboratory Physics in 1923 and was designed by Abel Antoon Kok for the Public Works Department of the Municipality of Amsterdam. The laboratory, for which Prof. Pieter Zeeman (1865-1943) had worked intensively, put an end to the lack of space in the previously built physics laboratory at Plantage Muidergracht 6 and was also specially equipped for the accurate magnetic and optical experiments that were carried out in Zeeman's group. To this end, a number of vibration-free tables were set up, the largest of which had a mass of 250,000 kg and was intended for the lattice that the American physicist H A. Rowland had engraved especially for Zeeman. In 1940, the institute was given the name of Zeeman.
