Traveler reviews
Simon
★★★★★2 years agoThe Elboogkerk isn’t actually a functioning church, it is a museum. The current display can be interpreted in many different ways, so I can’t really explain it here.
Pedro de Alcantara
★★★★★a year agoSpectacular space full of light and meaning: a decommissioned church that suffered a fire and was rebuilt and reborn. Regardless of what art may be currently on show, the building itself is simply marvelous and worth a visit if you love architecture, history, and the mysteries of destiny and transformation.
