Website | EmailLocated on Waterloo square, opposite the town hall, is the Moses and Aäron church. Initially the property of a Jewish trader, the church was rebuilt between 1837-1841. In 1578 native tradesmen decided to form an alliance with the Prince of Orange, in his revolt against Spain's reign in Holland at that time. The reason for their decision was dissatisfaction with the Catholic rulers in town. They inadequately represented the city of Amsterdam economically and millitarily. This consequently meant the end of Catholic supremacy in Amsterdam. The Catholics had to give up many of their possessions and buildings. As a result conventicles (secret chapels of worship) were formed. They were able to practise their dissented religion here.
