The Saint Nicholas church also called Cathedral at the IJ, is located near the Central Station of Amsterdam. The exterior as well the interior is a bit dark and the church looks rather old. This is however not the case, the church is only about 130 years old. Inside you find a beautiful mosaic of the Last Supper and the stained windows are fantastic. If I am not mistaken, the item under the altar has a small dome in the colours of Amsterdam.
De Sint Nicolaas kerk in Amsterdam wordt ook wel de Kathedraal aan het IJ genoemd en is gelegen nabij het Centraal Station. De buitenzijde alsook het interieur zijn wat donker en de kerk lijkt heel oud. Dit is echter niet zo, ze is slechts ongeveer 130 jaar oud. Binnen vind je een mooie mozaïek van Het Laatste Avondmaal en de brandglasramen zijn fantastisch. Als ik me niet vergis, is de kleine koepel van het kunstwerk onder het altaar in de kleuren van de stad Amsterdam..
