Obrecht church, Catholic church in Amsterdam-Zuid, Netherlands.

The Obrecht Church features two tall front towers and a lower crossing tower, incorporating Neo-Byzantine and Romanesque Revival architectural elements throughout its structure.

Architect Joseph Cuypers designed this church building in 1905, and the construction was completed between 1908 and 1911 under Bishop Callier's supervision.

The interior decorations include contributions from numerous Dutch artists, including Jan Eloy Brom, Joep Nicolas, Otto van Rees, and John Rädecker.

The church holds regular services in Dutch and English, accommodating 1,150 people, with special arrangements during Christmas Eve mass due to high attendance.

The clock tower displays an unusual feature where the Roman numerals 9 and 11 appear in reverse order on its face.
