The Basilica of St. Nicholas ( St. Nicholas Church ) is a Roman Catholic church in the city centre of Amsterdam . The church, officially called St. Nicholas within the Veste , was built in the period 1884-1887 to a design by the architect Adrianus Bleijs (1842-1912).

Nice little church, designed after Greek Orthodox churches, but with Dutch unpainted brick material. This Greek Orthodox church was built in Rotterdam in 1957. The church, which is dedicated to Saint Nicholas, is an important symbol for the Greek community in the Netherlands. The construction of the church was a long process. Shortly after the Second World War, the Association of Greeks in the Netherlands started a fundraising campaign to finance the construction. The Greek community in the Netherlands was still small at the time, but the need for its own church was great. The church was designed by the Dutch architects ir De Jongh, Taen and dr ir Thomas Nix. The design was inspired by Byzantine architecture, which plays an important role in the Greek Orthodox tradition. The church has a cross-shaped floor plan and is built of brick. The facade is decorated with a mosaic of Saint Nicholas. The construction of the church was completed in 1957 and was consecrated by the Greek Metropolitan Damaskinos of Chios. The church has since become an important centre for the Greek community in the Netherlands. Here Greeks from all over the Netherlands come together to pray, celebrate and meet each other.

The St. Norbertus parish was founded on 24 June 1980. The church board wanted a sweet and atmospheric church building, which would be inviting for church services, whereby the forest edge had to be taken into account on behalf of the municipality. In May 1981, pastor Celie announced that the church board had chosen the architectural firm Renser Van Groningen from Boxmeer. The first stone was laid on 8 September 1985. Mgr. A. Castermans consecrated the church on 15 June 1986.

The first church was built in 1921 to a design by Joseph Franssen. This was destroyed by war in 1944 and replaced with the current one from 1952.

Three-aisled neo-Gothic pseudo-basilica with west tower, built in 1913-1914 to a design by WAM te Riele. Main altar by FW Mengelberg with painted shutters by Jacob Ydema. Stations of the Cross (paintings by MC Schenk) supplied by Mengelberg in 1880 for the previous church. Single-manual organ from 1923 by the Gebr.

The first Sint-Odulpuskerk in Assendelft was built around 1410, but was transferred to the Protestants during the Reformation in 1582. The Catholics of Assendelft used clandestine churches in the centuries that followed , until a new church was built in 1853. However, this water board church turned out to be too small and dilapidated after a few decades, which is why it was decided to build a new church in 1883.

Beautiful neo-Gothic church with a defining tower. 1884 tower, spire destroyed by war in 1944, renewed in 1959. In the middle of last (which?) year the clock on the railway side in the tower of the Roman Catholic St. Odulphus Church stood still. Worn out. A restoration would cost over 7000 euros. A well-organized campaign yielded over 12,000 euros in a short time. The clock was restored in the fall of 2006. And with the money that was left over, the bell of the St. Odulphus Chapel next to the church could be repaired so that it can make its voice heard again.
