The Goede Herder Church

The Goede Herder Church was built between 1936 and 1940 by architects J.H. Desing and P.J.A. Gomperts. The church was designed to serve the growing Catholic community in the Schiebroek neighborhood, which was primarily industrial at the time.

The Goede Herder (Good Shepherd) Church is a typical example of Amsterdam School architecture, a style characterized by its use of brick, Gothic Revival elements, and a focus on light and space.

The building features a unique design with a central tower and a distinctive shape resembling a shepherd's crook (hence the name Goede Herder).
