Hidden in the heart of the city center of Amsterdam is a small wonder: Our Lord in the Attic Museum.
Go on a journey in a unique, well-preserved canal house from the 17th century. Narrow corridors and stairs will lead you to historically decorated living quarters, kitchens and bedsteads, ending in the highlight of the museum: a complete church in the attic.
The chapel in the attic was commissioned by the wealthy Catholic merchant, Jan Hartman, at a time when it was forbidden to practice the Catholic faith in public spaces. Former Catholic churches and monasteries had been confiscated and were being used for Protestant worship. Catholics had to seek alternatives and henceforth celebrate Mass in hidden house churches. Due to the climate of tolerance which was exceptional during this period, the city government did not intervene.
