Museum Ons’Lieve Heer Op Solder

Translating to Museum Our Lord in the Attic, Museum Ons’Lieve Heer Op Solder is a 17th-century canal-house-turned-museum in the city centre with a Catholic church in its attic. It’s an example of a place where Catholics and other religious dissenters of the Dutch Reformed Church would go in the mid-1600s to worship in privacy because they were not allowed to in public. It’s the second-oldest museum in Amsterdam after the  Rijksmuseum and worth a visit.
