Amsterdam: Our Lord in the Attic Museum Entry Ticket
Amsterdam Red Light District, Amsterdam
Hidden in the heart of the city centre of Amsterdam is a small wonder: Our Lord in the Attic Museum. Visitors will be going on a journey in a unique well-preserved canal house from the 17th century.
Our Lord in the Attic Museum in Amsterdam suits history and culture enthusiasts interested in 17th-century canal houses and hidden Catholic churches.
Visit one of Amsterdam's oldest museums, housed in a remarkably well-preserved 17th-century canal house. Explore a unique hidden Catholic church located in the attic, built during a time when public Catholic worship was forbidden.
The museum opened on 24 April 1888 and offers a glimpse into Amsterdam's clandestine churches. Wander narrow corridors, staircases, and historically decorated living quarters, ending in the attic where the complete church is located. The house was constructed in 1663 on Oudezijds Voorburgwal street, behind a typical canal house facade that conceals its religious function.
The church fell into disuse after the opening of the Church of St Nicholas but was preserved through private collectors committed to maintaining its Catholic heritage.
