Posthoornkerk

From the moment you see it rising up from the old city center on the way to Haarlem, the Posthoornkerk with its three slender towers is a real eye-catcher within walking distance from Central Station. Walking through the bustling Haarlemmerstraat, a quaint little square suddenly appears behind a more than a hundred-year-old fence. Step inside and be enchanted by the light and architecture.

Versatile and unforgettable
The Posthoornkerk is suitable for weddings, dinners, receptions, conferences, and lectures. It also serves as a memorable backdrop for theater performances and concerts. The bustling Haarlemmerstraat, with its stylish shops and cozy dining and drinking establishments, is the perfect setting for a fair or market.

Well-maintained and professional
All modern facilities are available in this monument, such as heating, sanitation, and dressing rooms. The heated nave can be divided into two spaces, making the location ideal for a combination of dinners, lectures, or weddings with a reception. The team at Stadsherstel is ready to inspire and inform you about the possibilities at this impressive venue.

Neo-Gothic architecture
The Posthoornkerk is the very first building in Amsterdam by architect Pierre Cuypers, who also designed the Central Station, the Vondelkerk, and the Rijksmuseum. The neo-Gothic interior has a fairytale-like appeal thanks to two galleries stacked on top of each other, the use of different colored bricks, and beautiful natural light coming through the stained glass windows. Perfect for a romantic wedding or classical concert.

Choose heritage
By choosing a Pearl of Stadsherstel, you contribute to the restoration of the city and the preservation of cultural heritage. In the 1970s, the Posthoornkerk was close to being demolished. However, the Haarlemmerbuurt organized itself into the Posthoornkerk Foundation. They managed to prevent the demolition, with repurposing as the key concept. Stadsherstel became involved and helped fully restore the monument and give it a new purpose.
