De Duif, Church building and theater on Prinsengracht, Netherlands

The De Duif church features a neo-classical design with a Neo-baroque facade and stands opposite the Amstelveld square in central Amsterdam.

Built in 1858 by architect Theo Molkenboer, this structure replaced the former Catholic St. Willibrordus church at a location previously occupied by a sugar factory.

The building contains the largest Smits organ constructed north of the Dutch rivers, restored in 2006, which provides exceptional acoustics for musical performances.

The venue accommodates 540 guests for receptions, 450 for concerts, and 250 for dining events, with additional rooms available for smaller gatherings.

Following its last mass in 1974, local parishioners occupied the building to prevent its demolition, leading to its preservation and current multipurpose function.
