The ruins of the Lutheran Church, Amsterdam, after the fire of 1822, looking towards the organ-loft

The Ronde Lutherse Kerk, built on the Singel between 1671 and 1681 to designs by the architect Adriaan Dortsman (circa 1636-1682), was almost completely destroyed by a fire on 18 September 1822. The reconstruction of the church was completed in 1826. For drawings of the fire and its immediate aftermath, see The Atlas of Amsterdam sale at Christie's, Amsterdam, 20 November 1989, lots 279-81, and B.
