Posthoornkerk Designed by Cuypers

Haarlemmerstraat 126 Amsterdam 1013 EX 020 520 0093 (Stadsherstel Amsterdam N.V.) http://www.stadsherstelamsterdam.nl/index_eng.html

Although this church is totally surrounded by houses and other buildings, it can be seen from far away, thanks to the high spires and red/yellow facade. Threatened with destruction in 1972, it was saved by the Posthoornkerk Foundation in 1987. Now the church forms the venue of many concerts, exhibitions and other events. The 19th century church was the successor of the hidden church by the same name which had been used for Catholic services in the 17th and 18th centuries. The church is built in neo-Gothic style and features beautiful Gothic windows. Review © 2009, Wcities
