Very unique church in the attic of a canal house right in the heart of the Red Light District. Lots of construction work in the museum limited access to some areas but it was still neat to learn why a catholic church like this was needed and built to avoid persecution.

Brave the red light area to see this gem. Amazing history. Pity it's being restored and we didn't get to see it in all it's glory. Children found it interesting and no major queues.

My partner and I went to Amsterdam for our anniversary. A friend of ours recommended few places and Church in the Attic was one of them. Not only the actual church makes a great impression but also the building which have been kept in its original state (rooms etc).

This building, a clandestine church for Catholics built in the 17th C when public Catholic worship was not legal, is all the more remarkable for being decorated in the florid Baroque style. I visited this place first in 2001, and then in December 2011 when it was coming towards the end of a multi-year restoration project. I actually found looking...

We visited in 1970. Now it's under renovation, so I would suggest you hold off for a few years.

The Amstelkring Museum or Our Lord in the Attic Chapel affords not only insight into the creative efforts of Catholics to continue their clendestine worship during the Protestant Reformation, but it is also a visit to a typical Dutch house of its day. Hard to believe that this miniature church is tucked away in the upper floor of a private...
