Bethaniënklooster (Convent of Bethany)

a cloister nestled in the oldest area of Amsterdam, where you can listen to chamber music. Convent of Bethany

The space was originally intended for women who wanted to pay penance for their licentious lives, but the converted sisters were soon replaced by distinguished ladies.

In 1462, the Amsterdam convent acquired permission to build its own chapel. The chapel has been fully restored and is a glorious spot to hide away and listen to the sounds of chamber music. view the agenda
