The Moses And Aaron Church (officially the Church of St. Anthony of Padua) in Amsterdam is renowned for its distinctive architecture, designed by Theo van Doesburg and Richard Neutra, though never fully completed according to the original plans. Construction began in 1935 but was halted due to financial constraints during World War II; the church remains unfinished to this day, lacking a traditional facade on one side. Its interior is characterized by geometric forms, exposed concrete, and a focus on natural light.

The church is notable for its acoustics which have made it a popular venue for concerts, particularly those involving choral or experimental music. While originally a Roman Catholic church, it now functions as a cultural center hosting various events alongside religious services. The building represents a significant example of De Stijl architectural principles adapted to religious space.
