Religious buildings

[The Lawspeaker]

Post here beautiful examples of religious buildings in your country:














Sint Jan's Cathedral, Den Bosch.









Westerkerk, Amsterdam.










The new Essalam Mosque in Rotterdam dominates the skyline and flaunts all architectural and social coventions. Eventhough it's a beautiful building it should not belong in this country. Other than the Jews who built their synagogues in a distinctively Dutch style and kept it as low-profile as possible the mosque seems to be a deliberate statement of architectural aggression.














The Portuguese Synagogue in Amsterdam is the largest synagogue in the Netherlands. Notably unremarkable from the outside - its interior is distinctively Dutch: dignified, well-kept but restrained.

Maybe the American churches remind you of mediaeval Dutch churches because the American churches are a rip-off of English and Dutch churches.

One could quite easily walk passed it without even noticing its presence. The synagogue in the old city of Amersfoort.








Believe it or not: this used to be a hidden church. Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder (Our Dear Lord in The Attic). A 17th century hidden Catholic church in Amsterdam.
