Neo-Gothic Facade Of The Hidden Church, De Papegaii, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Stock Photography

Pictured is the Neo-Gothic façade of the hidden church, The Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, a parochial church in the Saint Nicholas Roman Catholic parish in Amsterdam. It is nicknamed `De Papegaai` The Parrot because it was originally hidden in a garden behind a regular housefront that belonged to a bird-trader in the days when Catholicism could not be practiced publicly. The façade has a statue of a perched parrot on the left, and Saint Joseph on the right.
