Museum Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder

Our Lord in the Attic is one of the oldest and most remarkable museums in Amsterdam. Behind the characteristic facade of the house by the canal lies a largely original 17th-century home and a complete hidden church. This hidden church 'in the attic' was built during the Reformation, when Catholics were forbidden to hold public services. Today, the church and the house form the backdrop to a succession of striking exhibitions highlighting religion and contemporary art.

The museum lies in the heart of the oldest part of Amsterdam, in the centre of the famous, and infamous, red light district. Every year countless tourists visit the area, and many also come to see Our Lord in the Attic. Along with the locals from Amsterdam as many as 75,000 people visit the museum each year.
