On the site where sawmills once stood, the synagogue of the Tesjoengat Israel or 'Vereeniging Hulpe Israëls' was inaugurated in 1892 at Gerard Doustraat 238. The Jewish architect Emanuel Marcus Rood (also the architect of the Central Israelite Nursing Service in Jacob Obrechtstraat) designed the building, which was built in neo-Dutch Renaissance style. Because many diamond workers felt at home here, the synagogue was also called the 'Diamond Synagogue'.
De Duif, formerly a hidden church in the 17th century, was rebuilt as a neoclassical monument in 1857. After restoration, it reopened in 2002 as a cultural venue, preserving its rich history and hosting various events in Amsterdam.
