General

1. How do I qualify for rental of a house/apartment with Stadsherstel?

Stadsherstel publishes an ad containing available housing on each first Wednesday of the month (unless this is the actual first day of the month as well). In the daily papers Trouw, NRC Handelsblad and the Volkskrant under the category ?Woonruimte te huur aangeboden?(living space for rent) it is also indicated, how one can apply and whether or not there is a waiting list. Of all applications the top six of the waiting list are invited for a view. Everyone who has viewed the house/apartment has to indicate whether or not they are interested in renting it. Then it is appointed to the person who has been registered the longest. In case of equal length of registration lots are drawn.

2. How long will it take until the waiting list is open for registration again?

Since 2002 there have been 4000 names on the list. Not until the number of applications by those registered decreases will a new registration round be considered. This will be announced in the monthly ads in due time.

3. Can I get married in one of your churches?

Yes you can! In the Amstelkerk, the Vondelkerk, de Schellingwouderkerk, the church of refuge De Hoop and in De Duif many couples are joined in matrimony. You can call us for reservations and options at: 020-5200090. You yourself only have to arrange for a bride/groom.

4. Can I give a party in one of your locations?

Loud parties are not allowed and activities after 1:00 a.m. are usually not permitted. Give us a call to find out what can or cannot: 020 5200090.

5. I want to restore my property. Can I apply for your help?

Stadsherstel exclusively restores buildings that it owns. For restoration of your own monument you can consult Bureau Monumenten en Archeologie (Bureau for Preservation of Munuments and Archeology) or the Rijksdienst voor de Monumentenzorg (State Department for Preservation of Monuments).
