Museum Our Lord in the Attic, Amsterdam
Museum Our Lord in the Attic (previously called Museum Amstelkring) is one of the most cherished museums in Amsterdam with a special atmosphere that surprises every visitor.
The attic of this bourgeois house conceals a secret Catholic church, known as Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder
(Our Dear Lord in the Attic), originally built in 1663, when Catholics lost their right to workship
in their own way. Among other artefacts the museum house contains
heavy Dutch furniture, tableclocks and two kitchens
with Delft tiles.
The lower floors of the building became a museum in 1888 and today contain refurbished rooms,
as well as a collection of church silver, various religious artifacts and paintings.
