Superb museum/underground Catholic church in the heart of the red light district. The photogenic atmosphere is totally timeless.
Right in the heart of the red light district, this 17th-century mansion houses a remarkably well-preserved underground church in the attic. It was here that many Catholics, persecuted by Protestants, came to worship in the 17th century, aided by the owner of the premises, Jan Hartman, a wealthy city merchant. A symbol of tolerance made in NL, the atmosphere here is sublime. It's an absolute must to visit and revisit.

Well laid out. Excellent audio guide, easy to use! Stairs are treacherous for some.

A really well presented museum and restoration of a hidden church, which gives a fascinating glimpse into a less tolerant time in the history of the Netherlands. Testament to one man's devotion to his religion converting the upper 3 floors of his home so that others might worship as a congregation . It also bears witness to the futility of a ban on Catholicism, which clearly wasn't enforced as there is no way the scale of construction or the number of worshipers attending mass could have gone unnoticed by the authorities.One of the lesser known gems of Amsterdam and certainly we'll worth a visit.

Absolut cooles Museum, Herzstück ist die im Wohnhaus integrierte Kirche, aber auch sonst gibt es viele tolle Räume zu sehen. Gute Infos über die Zeit der Reformation, die Auswirkungen auf die Stadt und die Menschen, etc.
