Waalse Kerk, The Hague, Neoclassical Protestant church in The Hague, Netherlands.
Waalse Kerk is a neoclassical Protestant church located near Noordeinde palace in The Hague. The building features round-arched windows, decorative plaster ceiling details, and displays French inscriptions above its three main doors.
The French-speaking Protestant congregation relocated here in 1808 when their previous chapel was converted to Catholic use under King Louis Napoleon. The building preserves original furnishings and fixtures from that founding period onward.
This place serves the French-speaking Protestant community with services held in their native language. The congregation here reflects a long history of welcoming people from across Europe and beyond.
The church is located at Noordeinde 23/25, directly across from Molenstraat and within walking distance of the city center. It is easy to reach on foot and offers a quiet space to visit, particularly when classical music concerts or events take place.
The interior contains a grand Paris-built organ installed in 1885 that continues to be played for services and concerts. Original benches reserved for men from 1808 and a 17th-century pulpit stand as reminders of centuries past.
