Church of Moses and Aaron
Mozes en Aäronkerk, Roman Catholic Church of St. Anthony of Padua

The first Catholic church, closed for more than 30 years, reopens in Amsterdam, Holland. Years in which many churches, empty of the faithful, have unfortunately changed destination.

The church, dedicated to the Saints Moses and Aaron, in the city centre, one of the most important in Amsterdam, had been no longer open for worship since the late 80s.

Originally a clandestine church, it was operated by Franciscan priests at a house on Jodenbreestraat, where the wall tablets of Moses and Aaron hung on the wall. In 1970, the present church was designated as a Cultural Heritage Monument of the Netherlands.
