De Krijtberg / Sint-Franciscus Xaveriuskerk

Place of worshipLocals' pick

A Jesuit church has stood here since 1654, first hidden; the present neo-Gothic church by Alfred Tepe (1881-1883) had to be unusually tall on its narrow canal plot. Its exuberant painted interior by the Mengelberg workshop has survived almost complete.
