Synagogue in 's-Hertogenbosch

St. Catherine or Kruiskerk. Built in 1917-1918 by Jan Stuyt, retaining the choir closure with northern sacristy of the monastery church of the Kruisheren, built from 1533 onwards. This remnant of the choir is built of brick with natural stone bands and ornamental parts, diagonally cut buttresses and profiled, largely closed windows. Sacristy with eight-part ribbed vault on corbels. Original nave was started in 1601; replaced in 1841 by the Waterstaatskerk by J. de Kroon, demolished in 1917 for the current church. The pulpit and organ gallery with statues from 1841 were transferred there; a number of 17th century tombstones were preserved, as well as an important series of 17th and 18th century paintings, including a cycle of nine by PJ Verhaghen from 1768-81, originating from the abbey of Averbode. Furthermore, cast copper crowns (17th century). In the hood of the southern side tower clock by Jan Moer, 1562, diam. 55 cm. Mechanical tower clock, 1917? has been decommissioned. In the sacristy clock by M.de Haze, diam. 35 cm. Organ with main work, upper work, breastwork and free pedal, made in 1851 by JJ Vollebregt and Son. In 1915 moved and modified by Maarschalkerweerd, in 1956 restored by Verschueren.

At the crossing a roof turret with Doric columns and frontals. Internally a cove ceiling. Pulpit (out of use) from the construction period. Organ (National Monument) with Hoofdwerk and Bovenwerk, made in 1831 by the brothers J. and JMW Bätz (Utrecht).

The current St. John's Cathedral was built in the period 1280-1550 and initially served as a parish church. When the Diocese of 's-Hertogenbosch was founded in 1559, the church became a cathedral. Incidentally, the cathedral does not belong to the oldest parish on the current territory of 's-Hertogenbosch. That is the parish of St. Salvator in Orthen, which was founded before 1280. In the thirteenth century, the people of 's-Hertogenbosch were still dependent on the parish of Orthen. Around 1280, construction began on a separate parish church, which would later develop into the current cathedral.
