The Old-Catholic church in Zaandam

betekenis & definitie

(Papenpad 13), dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene, is a wooden barn church from 1695. During a restoration of the church in 1927, the presbytery was renewed.

The interior has a wooden barrel vault in the middle; the aisles are flat covered. The struts between midship and side aisles were removed in 1806. The late-17th century inventory includes an altar with a painting, a tabernacle with statues of saints, a pulpit, a doophek, a communion bench, a cabinet and a vesper chair, as well as the baroque church furniture. The organ (circa 1700) comes from the demolished Amsterdam secret church 'De Pauw'.
