About

Nestled in the heart of Amsterdam’s historic canal belt, the Museum Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder offers a unique glimpse into 17th‑century Catholic life in a time of religious prohibition. Visitors wander through narrow, timber‑framed corridors that lead to a remarkably preserved attic church—an architectural masterpiece hidden beneath a modest residential façade. The museum’s story is told through meticulous displays of period furnishings, religious artifacts, and interactive audio tours that guide guests step‑by‑step through the house’s hidden corridors. Beyond the attic, the museum houses an extensive collection of domestic items, such as original kitchens and bedrooms, which illustrate daily life in the Golden Age. Guided group tours, available in multiple languages, allow visitors to experience the museum’s highlights in depth, while the free “Samen zie je meer” audio tour caters to those with visual impairments. Every visit invites you to discover how art, faith, and secrecy intertwined in Amsterdam’s past. Practical information: the museum is open daily from 10:00 to 18:00, with occasional closure on certain holidays. The tickets are priced at €16.95 for adults, €7.50 for children aged 5‑17, and free for children under 5. Reservations are not required but highly recommended, and can be secured online via the museum’s ticketing page.
