Why go
Step inside to see how a religious community occupied a sheltered pocket within the dense city center. The enclosed green, varied façades and two churches create a sharp spatial contrast with nearby Kalverstraat and Spui, only steps from busy commercial streets.
What to look for
- Historic houses enclose a garden reached through a narrow entrance.
- The English Reformed Church reflects the courtyard’s post-Reformation history.
- A Catholic chapel continued the site’s religious role within the residential court.
Useful to know
- Treat the courtyard as a quiet residential space and keep to the visitor paths.
- Combine the brief visit with Spui, Kalverstraat or the Amsterdam Museum area.
