Dominicuskerk, Neo-Gothic church building in central Amsterdam, Netherlands

The Dominicuskerk features a three-part cruciform basilica design with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, constructed by architect Pierre Cuypers.

The church originated from a clandestine Catholic parish established in 1621, with the current structure completed and consecrated by Bishop Bottemanne in 1893.

The church made broadcasting history in 1925 as the first Dutch religious institution to transmit Mass through radio waves under Pastor Lambertus Perquin.

The church spaces are available for rent, accommodating concerts, lectures, meetings, funeral services, and weddings, with access to a Fazioli piano and Adema organ.

The original design included an 85-meter tower matching the Westertoren height, but municipal authorities denied permission, leaving one-third of the plan incomplete.
