In reply to Pam Paster.

It’s not open for tourists as such. However, it is open at 20:00 on Tuesday & Friday for prayer and at 17:00 for Sunday Eucharist. In the summer months it is open from 14:00 to 17:00 for prayer and silent visits.

Hope this helps 🙂

Is the church ever open for visitation by tourists? I have been to Amsterdam the last 4 years, and it is always closed. I will be in Amsterdam again this year and would love to see the inside of the church. When is it pen?

thank you.
