H.H. Petrus en Pauluskerk (Papegaai) In the middle of stylish Kalverstraat

Kalverstraat 58 Amsterdam 1012 PG +31 (0)20 623 1889 http://www.amsterdamtourist.nl/en/home/search/display_itemdetail/xp/itemid.8ca6800b-0cc2-488e-b2ba-44184b1642e3/default.aspx

De Papegaai (or Jozefkerk) is hidden away in the stylish Kalverstraat shopping street. The church was designed by architect G. Moele in 1848. The Papegaai (parrot) was a code name for the secret church located in the houses behind the Kalverstraat during the Reformation. The church has a complete neo-Gothic interior and style. The eponymous parrot is carved out of stone in the tiny neo-Gothic doorway on the Kalverstraat side. Review © 2009, Wcities
