What makes the Walloon Church so special?
Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam’s busy city center, the Waalse Kerk is a charming oasis for live music. The history of this place dates back to 1409, when it began as the chapel of the Order of St. Paul. This makes it the second-oldest church in Amsterdam. Since 1578, it has also been the permanent home of the French-speaking Protestant community.
Today, the church serves as both a place of worship and an atmospheric venue for classical concerts and French culture. The tall columns, the wooden interior, and the historic organ lend the hall a beautiful character, while the intimate setting ensures that you experience the music up close.
