Begijnhof Chapel, Catholic chapel in Begijnhof, Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Begijnhof Chapel features gothic leaded windows and stands across from the English Reformed Church in a peaceful medieval courtyard.
Built in 1665 by architect Philips Vingboons, the chapel replaced an earlier religious structure that served the Beguines since the 14th century.
The chapel maintains Catholic traditions through the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament and commemorates the Miracle of Amsterdam with annual processions.
Visitors can access the chapel through the Begijnhof courtyard, which opens daily from 8:00 to 17:00, entering via the Spui or Begijnensteeg entrance.
The chapel sits one meter below the current street level, preserving the original medieval ground level of Amsterdam's city center.
