From the rise of Calvinism and the iconoclastic fury that swept the city in the 16th century, to the hidden churches born of the Catholic ban, this tour explores how religion intertwined with daily life and political power in the heart of Amsterdam. As we walk through key historical sites, we'll trace the dramatic shifts that shaped the city's identity: how the Catholic Church once dominated the political and social landscape, only to be swept aside by the rise of Protestantism and the destruction of Catholic imagery during the iconoclastic fury. You'll visit hidden churches — secret sanctuaries where Catholics gathered to worship in the shadows for two centuries — and see how Amsterdam's later intellectual transformation brought a gradual decline in religious authority altogether. This tour offers a glimpse into the complex relationship between faith, power, and culture that shaped Amsterdam — and still shapes its identity today.
We will enter the Begijnhof: Amsterdam's oldest surviving courtyard, built in the 1300s for the Beguines — laywomen living in religious community without convent vows.
