The Jagershuis (originally 1614) used to be a meeting place for the hunters who used their horses to pull the barges on the towpath along the Amstel. It is a magnificent, monumental building, situated right on the water and part of the protected village area Ouderkerk aan de Amstel (Amstelveen).

The earliest records of 't Jagershuis date back to the 17th century. The pub was originally called De Rustende Jager (The Hunter) and later Buitenlust. The name 't Jagershuis dates back to the 20th century. It was only after a thorough renovation in 1964 that it acquired its current appearance and purpose as a restaurant-hotel. It is on the list of national monuments. It consists of two gables with a wing attached at right angles and, according to the register of monuments, dates from the 18th century. In February 2017, the building was threatened with being removed from the list of national monuments because architectural research had revealed that it had been completely remodeled between 1963 and 1966 and had "no intrinsic monumental value".

In the meantime, the monument status is no longer legally disputed. The owner of 't Jagershuis is working on the renovation of the building while preserving its monument protection.

Windmill on the Amstel

Highlight • Monument

The Riekermolen is a polder windmill. The windmill originally stood in the Riekerpolder south of the village of Sloten near Amsterdam. The mill, which dates back to 1636, had to be demolished in 1956 due to the dredging of the Riekerpolder for the expansion of the Nieuwe Meer and was moved to the Kalfjeslaan on the Amstel in 1961.

De Riekermolen and the Rembrandt statue

Highlight • Monument

Close to the Klein Kalfje, a statue of Rembrandt suddenly pops up. Not surprising: this was the place where the painter made many sketches – which he later finished in his studio. Originally, the adjacent mill stood in the Riekerpolder. When the mill had to be moved due to enlargement of the Nieuwe Meer, the mill was given its current location. “When I have guests from abroad, I always bring them here. Then I say: It doesn't get more Dutch than this: a windmill and the statue of Rembrandt.'

Amstelkerk Ouderkerk aan de Amstel

Highlight • Religious Site

The Amstelkerk is a Protestant church. The church was built in the years 1773-1775 as a reformed church according to a design by the Amsterdam city architect Jacob Eduard de Witte (1738-1809); his predecessor Cornelis Rauws had already made several drafts in 1771.
A church bell from 1603 by Cornelis Ammeroy hangs in the bell tower. The current organ by the Amsterdam organ builders Flaes & Brünjes dates from 1865. The church, rectory, tea house in the garden, the fence around the church, the carriage shed and the "deacon houses" near the church are listed monuments and are part of the sheltered village landscape of Ouderkerk aan de Amstel. The outbuildings date from around 1880.
