Museum Amstelkring Amsterdam
The Amstelkring museum with its attic is one of the most cherished museums in Amsterdam. It conceals a secret Catholic church, known as Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder (Our Dear Lord in the Attic). It was originally built in 1663 when Catholics lost the right to worship their branch of the Christian faith.
The museum, on the edge of the Red Light District, has heavy Dutch furniture, table clocks and two kitchens with Delft tiles. The lower floors of the building became a museum in 1888 and they nowadays contain refurbished rooms, as well as a collection of church silver and various religious artefacts and paintings.
The church and the interior of the monument is currently being restored. However, the museum remains open.
