A visit to the Dominicus Church feels like a pass to the hectic city life. The high vaults, stained-glass windows and monumental organ take you to another world. A world of beauty, peace and depth.
Although Dominicus Church has a Roman Catholic background, today it is known for its open, progressive character. The community that meets here is at the centre of the world and welcomes visitors from all backgrounds and beliefs. There is a special celebration every Sunday - often with poetic texts, live music and space for reflection. The church also hosts lectures, concerts, theatre performances and social events. Spirituality and culture go hand in hand here.
The Dominicus Church is known for its excellent acoustics. This makes it a popular venue for classical concerts, choirs, chamber music and even contemporary music performances. Think intimate performances by candlelight, modern dance or lectures that touch. The beautiful space with its amazing ceiling and sober but imposing interior contributes to an experience you won't soon forget.
Designed by the famous architect Pierre Cuypers, who was also responsible for the Rijksmuseum and Amsterdam Central Station, the Dominicuskerk is an example of neo-Gothic splendor. Yet the church also exudes simplicity and accessibility.
A visit to the Dominicuskerk can be combined with other special places in the area. For example, you can explore the Haarlemmerstraat as one of Amsterdam's nicest shopping streets.
