«The Hollandse Synagoge, or the Dutch Synagogue is so named because it was built by descendants of Jews who came to Antwerp from Holland in the early 19th century. It was the first large synagogue in Antwerp. Built by Jewish architect Joseph Hertogs (1861–1930), it was inaugurated on Bouwmeestersstraat 7, in 1893. Today the synagogue is used for services only on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur.»
