What To Expect
Our Lord in the Attic Museum Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder
This Catholic church dates from 1663. While it was prohibited to celebrate mass, the authorities turned a blind eye. Indeed, the church symbolises the characteristic (religious) tolerance of the Netherlands, established by the Dutch in the sixteenth century under Willem of Orange. Freedom of religion and of conscience are central themes at the museum today. It makes Our Lord in the Attic far more than a museum: it is a special place in which to contemplate and to experience. Extension Museum Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder is the oldest museum in the city, second only to the Rijksmuseum. A unique monument from the Golden Age, it has been preserved largely due to initiatives taken by private individuals. In 2015, the monument was extended into an additional building at Oudezijds Voorburgwal 38, where the new entrance vestibule was established. The two buildings are connected to each other via an underground passage. Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder is now a proper in situ museum – where history is tangible and everything is old and authentic, where visitors can truly experience the building and its story, and where a link can even be established with current events.

A fascinating visit with a story from times we mustn't forget

5.00This was a fascinating place to visit. It is a somewhat hidden gem which should be near the top of the list for places to visit in Amsterdam. It harks back to a time when people were not free to follow their choice religion. The property is well maintained and the audio tour is succinct but excellent.
Church wow!

5.00Thanks to a friend’s recommendation I visited this incredible “home” church. Who knew! It’s so well preserved that I was amazed that one can visit it. It was such an interesting building with so much history! Highly recommend a visit.
Wow!

5.00What an amazing place. The tour was clearly laid out and audio guide was just enough information, not overwhelming or boring. The church is really breathtaking. The only downside was the plan of the house was confusing and we are still not sure exactly who lived where. But it really is a spectacular museum.
Worth the stop!

The Hidden Church

5.00A fascinating museum that leads you through the various room by way of interesting recordings that explain the history and significance of different parts of the house. Finally, you reach the church at the top of the house which was far bigger than I was expecting. Definitely worth a visit.
Time machine.

5.00Astonishing complex this house which has a hidden catholic church up under it‘s roof. But most interesting is the multitude of staircases going up and down from one floor to another (who needs mountains for hiking if you have that kind of house).
Original Museum

5.00Probably the best hidden chapel in Amsterdam.... This museum traces part of Dutch religious history. In addition to visiting this small chapel, one can also visit the adjacent rooms of this house. I recommend.
