Cultural sightseeing in Suriname. What to visit - museums, temples, castles and palaces
Although Suriname doesn't have as many attractions as other countries, there is definitely something to see here.

The 18th century Dutch Reformed church in the heart of Paramaribo is a place where liberated slaves came with prayers of thanks. Inside, tombstones of the late 17th century were used for the floor decoration in some places.

The church is open only in the morning until 11:00 am.
