Remonstrantse Kerk

Classical façade of the church in a modern and urban setting.

The Remonstrant church from 1883 was given a completely new destination in 2006. The church and outbuildings have since been widely used for meetings, trainings, conferences, workshops, concerts and lectures.

About this building

Church services are also still being held. The renovation was done based on architecture of Japanese architect Moriko Kira. The result is nothing short of spectacular. Behind the classical façade restored in its ancient glory, seven light, multifunctional spaces were created.
