Museum Amstelkring is one of the most celebrated and unique museums in all of Amsterdam. Locals know the church as Our Lord In The Attic Chapel, and located in the Red Light District, from the outside, this museum seems like any other home. Upon closer inspection of the attic, every visitor will be in for a pleasant surprise. Built in 1663, concealed in the attic of this house is a secret catholic church dating back to the era when Catholics in the Netherlands were persecuted and had to hide their places of worship. The church possesses a surprisingly ornate baroque alter, an organ, and seats for over a hundred worshippers.

The Our Lord In The Attic Chapel became a museum in 1888, following this, the downstairs part of the house was fully restored as well. The museum is not only famous for its organ and architecture, but also for the renovated 17th century rooms, religious artifacts, and paintings found in the rest of the home. The museum remains a testament to the important role that religion played in the conflicts in 17th century Netherlands and today. Any visitor will appreciate the fully restored rooms and decorations found in the museum home. Guided tours of the museum are available and cost 32 euros. They must be booked at least one week in advance because of the popularity of the museum.
