Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder
Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder (Our Lord in the Attic) is a
17th-century canal house, house church, and museum in the city center
of Amsterdam. The Catholic Church was built on the
top three floors of the canal house during the 1660s. It is an
important example of a "schuilkerk", or "clandestine church," in which
Catholics and other religious dissenters from the seventeenth century
Dutch Reformed Church, unable to worship in public, held services.
Since 1888, the church is open as a museum.
