Basilica of Saint Nicolas

The Basilica of Saint.Nicolas is located in the old Centre district of Amsterdam. It is the city's major Catholic church.

The Architect "Adrianus Bleijs"(1842-1912) designed the church basing himself on a combination of several styles of Neo-Baroque and Neo-Renaissance.

The facade is crowned by two towers with a rose window in between.



A look inside to the entrance with the rose window and and the 19th-century Sauer Organ on which concerts are given and mass is accompanied.

  1. Europe has beautiful churches.

    I visited St. Nicholas church in Prague. A baroque monument like this one of great beauty as well.

    The concerts in churches/basilicas reach another dimension.
