About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The site where the Nieuwezijds Kapel stood is located in Amsterdam at 78-80 Rokin. The first church at this location, the Heilige Stede (Holy Site), was built by Catholics in 1347 to commemorate a miracle said to have occurred here in 1345. The first church burned down in 1452 but was rebuilt. In 1578 the church was taken over by the Dutch Reformed Church and renamed the Nieuwezijds Kapel. Between 1908 and 1912, the church was "deconstructed" and replaced with a new church, shops, and houses. The Dutch Reformed Church stopped using the site in 1970 and now rents the location. In 2005, during construction of a new entertainment venue at this site (the Amsterdam Dungeon), hundreds of tombstones were found under a floor, the earliest dating back to 1596. These tombstones remain under the building however and are not accessible for viewing.
