Agnietenkapel, Gothic chapel in Amsterdam-Centrum, Netherlands.
The Agnietenkapel features a single-aisled Gothic double chapel structure with a wooden ceiling and stained glass windows at Oudezijds Voorburgwal 231.
Built in 1470 as part of the Franciscan Agnietenklooster convent, the chapel transformed into the Athenaeum Illustre in 1631, marking the beginning of the University of Amsterdam.
The chapel maintains its educational heritage by hosting doctoral dissertations, university ceremonies, lectures, and academic symposiums throughout the year.
The main entrance provides wheelchair access, and designated parking spaces for disabled visitors with European parking cards are available near the building.
Two bells reside in the tower, including one cast by A. Boolens in 1778, alongside a mechanical clock created by Rutgerus van Meurs in 1787.
