Photo 12: Jewish Cultural Centre at Van der Boechorststraat

The Jewish Cultural Centre was built to a design by Gerrit Rietveld. Since 1970 it is hosting a synagogue and different kinds of meetings.

Weldam 10 was the home of Cornelis van Eesteren, the architect who designed Buitenveldert and the Amsterdamse Bos together with his colleague Jacoba Mulder.
