Old Churches in Holland
As you may imagine, many old churches still remain in Holland.
Almost all cities have their own churches which are located in the center of the cities. They are connected to the square, shops and houses.
This is the oldest church in Amsterdam. I was surprised that it’s located in the red-light district and coffee shops.
This church is located in Utrehit which is like small Amsterdam. The stained glass is well reserved.
This church is located in Breda which is in the southern part of Holland. The church is very big although the city is small.The churches must have been very important as well as our shirines and temples.
Great photos…. Like you, I love taking photos of the interior of churches… so much to see. I’m sorry to have been out of the loop. It has been very hectic with all sorts of issues too. Blessings to you CoCo!
Thanks a lot. It’s good that you also like old churches. They are so nice.
Wow, those are very beautiful churches.
Yes, I think so .Thanks a lot.
Beautiful shots!
Thank you so much.
あ、懐かしいですね！
行ったことあります。
でもアムステルダムの大好きなものは教会ではありません。
運河と自転車です。＾＾
もちろん、運河と自転車はいいと思いますよ。自転車は、けっこう乗りました。
This is the oldest church in Amsterdam. I was surprised that it’s located in the red-light district and coffee shops.
Maybe they need church more than others.
Great photos! Reminds me of the churches in down Dublin, Ireland. European churches are very beautiful with so much tradition.
Maybe so. There are many beautiful churches all over the world as well as shirines and temples in Japan.
Wonderful photos of these magnificent churches!
Thanks a lot. It’s so large.
There are some amazing churches across Europe and really enjoyed your pictures
Many thanks. European churches are fachinating.
Very beautiful! Thanks for sharing
My pleasure. Thanks.
Stunning! Almost makes me want to get married again in a beautiful church like one of these!
Thank you. Yes, a beautiful church is good for wedding. It’s herattouching.
How beautiful! The atmosphere there is so tranquil and the architecture spectacular! Thanks for such a delightful virtual tour
Thanks a lot. They were really nice and educational for me.
Awe-inspring architecture.
Indeed. thanks!
Wonderful shots of these lovely churches.
Many thanks. Glad to hear that.
Fantastic photography, as always, sir!
Such powerful spaces… the sheer volume / height is so incredible to me…
it really does seem to create an almost other-worldly feeling.
Thank you so much. I think that there are many such churches in Europe. The concept and the way of architecture is similar. They are precious historic churches.
Wonderful architecture! As others have commented: European churches have much in common.
Thanks a lot. I guess that your country, British, also has beautiful churches.
It’s in a red-light district? That reminds me of Senso-ji around the corner and Yasaka Jinja in Gion, which were/are both next to entertainment districts! ^^
Beautiful photos! I love the interior of European churches, and those magnificent arches that draw your eyes upwards.
Thank you so much. Certainly, Senso-ji is same. They need a temple.
Europeans churches are so beautiful that I remembered some texts of architecture.
Beautiful old churches, amazing that they have survived for so long.
Thanks a lot. It’s really nice to survive even now.
Beautiful! I like the ornate architecture!
Thank you so much. I also like it and was impressed with them.
Really beautiful! I am enjoying seeing the Netherlands through your lens. Have you been travelling around much? It looks like a really fascinating country! Take care and many greetings from us, Sharon
Thank you so much. I’m enjoying traveling various cities while I’m working.
I’ll come back Japan next week.
those builders must have bin inspired by god himself
Thanks. I really enjoyed those churches inside and was impressed a lot.
Wonderful! I love the glass painting! Super beautiful!
Thanks much.
They are really nice.
You are certainly getting around all over Holland! The photos of the churches are quite wonderful. You say you are going back to Japan next week. This has been quite an adventure. Coming home will have its strangeness, perhaps, as well as its happiness.
Looking forward to your future posts!
Thank you for your kind comment. There are still many posts which I have never posted about this trip yet. So, I’ll be busy after I go back Japan.
Wow! Those churches are grand. Spectacular architectural details that are just breathtaking!
Thanks a lot. They were really amazing especially for Japanese.
Just gorgeous!
Thank you!
