Also known as 'Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder,' or 'Our Lord in the Attic,' this fascinating sanctuary dates from a period when only the Dutch Reformed Church was permitted to hold public services. Practitioners of other religions were forced to gather secretly in privately owned buildings throughout the city. This 17th century merchant's home was a haven for Catholics of the era. Its attic was transformed into a church and came to feature a pipe organ and a beautiful baroque altar and details. The church, which still holds occasional services, is, curiously enough, now located in the Red Light District.
