No, be reassured, this is not a stained glass window in a contemporary church, but one in the building of the "Bijenkorf" department store, designed by the famous Dutch architect Piet Kramer, and built in 1926. It is a perfect example of the "Amsterdam School" style of architecture. You can find those beautiful stained glass windows in the main staircase, a different one at each level. I found other photos for you on this blog.

Wow, very nice art.
Is this in the Bijenkorf in Den Haag? I guess I've never walked up the staircase before. It's a wonderful building (but I wish they'd wash the outside). Nice shot.
What a delightful thing to see. Thanks for the link - gorgeous art there, too.
I would never imagine seeing something so beautiful in a departmental store, great shot!
this is really beautiful, i love the colors in it.. nice photo!
Yes R&R it is in the Bijenkorf in The Hague, Next time you go shopping there, forget the escalator, and walk up and down and up and down to admire the windows!
I will go and have a look at the one in Rotterdam too. Never noticed this!
