Uilenburger Sjoel

The building was constructed on a rectangular plan between the Uilenburgerstraat and Uilenburgergracht in the shadow of a mill for the benefit of "Brouwerij Van der Waereld". For centuries it was only accessible via corridors (alleys to the buildings behind).

Heilige Antonius van Padua / Mozes en Aäron

The church originated from a clandestine church . This was served by Franciscan fathers and was located from 1641 at the back of the current church in the house "Moyses" on the Jodenbreestraat , where a statue of Moses hung on the facade. In 1682, the adjacent house "Aäron" ( Aäron ) was also purchased by Dr. Johannes de Vroom, a physician from Breda.
