Religion in the Hague
The Hague is a highly diverse city, with cultures and beliefs from all over the world, and you will find many different houses of worship across the city.
These days, a majority of Dutch adults don’t consider themselves religious, and there is no state religion in the Netherlands. The majority of those that are religious still identify as Christian, even though most don’t worship regularly. Historically, the Netherlands has been predominantly Christian, with regional differences in denominations: While the southern provinces are overwhelmingly Catholic, the north and the west of the country (including The Hague) are traditionally Protestant. Muslims constitute about 6% of the population.
For internationals, there are churches of various denominations with English-language services, as well as other places of worship for non-Dutch speakers. In a country that prides itself for its plurality and multiculturalism, there is room for every expression of faith.

While the Netherlands is home to many religions, many of its public holidays are based on the Christian calendar. If you are looking to meet others in your community outside of a place of worship, find out about social life in the Netherlands, learn more about the Dutch way of living, or read about sports clubs and spectator sports.
