Mozes en Aäronkerk

The Church of Saint Anthony of Padua, better known as the Mozes en Aäronkerk, arose in 1837-1841 on the spot where a hidden church stood. The monumental church already served as a Roman Catholic place of worship. The old facade figurines of Moses and Aaron are located on the rear facade of the current church (Jodenbreestraat).

The Moses and Aaron Church has been managed and used by the Community of Sant'Egidio since 2014. For years, the church building had limited access, and no church services were held, so the beautiful church interior was hidden from the eye of the city.

Sant'Egidio sees its mission to return the church to the city as a cultural and historical heritage. To this end, it regularly opens the church to the public and organizes various social and cultural projects with the help of many volunteers.
