A Photo Tour of Amsterdam [002] – The St. Nikolaas Church – AD1887 –
This cathedral-sized, neo-baroque style church designed by
A. C. Bleijs, dominates its surroundings despite the fact that its is bordered by quite
"ordinary" houses and a hotel! In a niche in the upper front facade is a statue of St. Nicholas
(Sint Nikolaas), the patron saint of the City of Amsterdam and of seamen and children.
