The Beth Haim of Ouderkerk aan de Amstel is the oldest Jewish cemetery in the Netherlands. It was purchased for use as a burying ground by the Jewish community of Amsterdam in 1614 and is located in the village of Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, in the countryside near Amsterdam.
Probably the site of the first castle of the 'Lords of Amstel' (Aemstel, Aemstelle). Destroyed in the 13th century.
