It is an old chapel nestled in the St. Nicolas Parish of Amsterdam and known to see a lot of visitors every year. The place is a highly regarded religious space run by the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament to propel religious and moral values amongst the people of Amsterdam. Initially a secluded area, it was later habituated by the group of first ‘Beguines’ who even though were not nuns, came there to serve people and help in building the humanity. On visiting the chapel, the first thing that will come to your notice is its great architecture that highly resembles the one that of centuries ago. This unique and Roman influenced architecture has beckoned a lot of historians and architects to come and witness it. History lover or not, a mere visit to this place is a great way of having a thorough brush up on city’s history.
