De Krijtberg - Sint Franciscus Xaveriuskerk

📍 Amsterdam

De Krijtberg (Church of Saint Francis Xavier) is a stunning Neo-Gothic Roman Catholic church in the heart of Amsterdam, Netherlands. Built in 1881 on Singel canal, this church has deep historical roots as a "hidden church" (schuilkerk) during the centuries when Catholic worship was prohibited in the Protestant Dutch Republic. The striking interior features ornate altars, stained glass windows, and intricate woodwork that transport visitors to another era. Watch live-streamed Catholic Mass from De Krijtberg, one of Amsterdam's most beautiful and historically significant churches, keeping alive a tradition of faith that persevered through religious persecution.
