Sint Nicolaaskerk (St. Nicholas inside The Walls) Catholic Church, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Sint Nicolaaskerk (St. Nicholas inside The Walls) Catholic Church, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
This Baroque styled church was consecrated on February 7th,1887, after over 200 years of repression of the Catholic religion which began in 1578 had forced worship into underground locations. The Catholic Emancipation which began in 1795 restored permission for the building of and use of Catholic churches in Amsterdam, but due to continued oppression from the Dutch Protestant community, it was not until the latter part of the 19th century the Catholic faith once again began to hold any power and this church was designed and built .

After 'geotagging' your picture I would love to add it to the group 'Kerken in Nederland'.
