This is a memorable museum, currently being renovated and expanded.It is so interesting to understand the context for the chapel, contained in the attic of this canal house.There is an interesting audio tour and the house has recently been restored. We were lucky enough (I would not usually enjoy being there with a student group) to hear secondary school students making presentations about the chapel for an assignment - it provided interesting background for us. There is quite a good little shop, too.However, construction is underway, and there will be a passage to connect it to another house, on the other side of the adjacent alley. The 2nd house will contain the office and shop, plus explanatory exhibits. So, once the work is finished, the current building space will just be for visitors to see the restored canal house and the chapel within.This was a museum like none I've seen - maybe the entrance price was a bit steep for what's currently on offer, plus a few things were off-limits due to renovation work. But ultimately I didn't begrudge it and I'm glad we visited.It's on the edge of the red light district and quite near the central station - so fairly easy to find.
这是个雄伟的博物馆,每个房间都有详尽的书面记载。它将许多的日常生活融汇在同一空间里,里面的内容远比你从外观上得到的感官大得多。我感觉就如同回到了那个时期古雅的教堂里在做礼拜一样。一小时足够了,一定要来参观。
This bijou museum is an amazing example of a hidden church touched away inside a series of neighbouring canal-side houses. I recommend the audio guide and they work on the principle of pointing them close to an information point, so you can discover the history of the place at your own pace. €9 is a reasonable entry fee and they are currently looking at refurbishing a nearby property which will have a visitors centre etc, so it will be interesting to go back when this is complete. All in all, a little gem, hidden away in the Red Light district.
After living in Amsterdam for 8 years, I finally visited the Our Lord in the Attic church/museum. A very charming church hidden in the attic of an Amsterdam canal house. The audio tour was very informative and walking around this 17th century building really takes you back to a very different time. Allocate an hour and a half so you can soak in the special peaceful vibe of the church. Worth visiting even if renovation is ongoing.
If you like architecture, a good story and something a bit different this place is for you. It was really impressive inside and once in the attic it's unbelievable. You work your way up through the old house winding your way up and down the original stairs. You get a audio device to tell the story which is well worth it.My advise for anyone new to Amsterdam is get a map check the location of the museum and mark it on as it's not the easiest to find. However with the map really easy.
来到这间博物馆就意味着你拥有了一次难得的机会去体会压迫,歧视及权利是如何改变的。另外,这间博物馆不仅漂亮,还很有趣啊,在这里你可有机会观看一些古时保留下来的房子及当时人们的生活状况。总之,此次体验充满了乐趣。那些东西虽然看起来有些离奇怪诞,但挺酷的。
Although we had read about this before we went, it was amazing to actually see for ourselves the church hidden away inside an ordinary building. Showed the power of people's beliefs.
在阿姆斯特丹,这个神秘的天主教堂是一个令人惊讶的博物馆。每位成人的参观费用是70元,旅游宣传册上会有每层楼的解说。沿着商店的楼梯一直上到最顶层,你可以看到运河的景色,在这里你会看到一个美丽的天主教堂悄悄地做弥撒,因为这个时候荷兰是禁止做弥撒的。难以想象的是,现今城市一切发展都顺利的情况下,人们还得隐藏自己的天主教信仰。它维护得非常好,在阿姆斯特丹是一个很值得游览的景点。从中央火车站/水坝大道出发,只要步行一会儿就到了。
I don't know that I'd pay to go in but it's free with the museum card. If you're in the neighborhood it's worth a quick peek. I wouldn't trek too far out of my way for it though. Free audio tour is nice for the explanations. It's kind of interesting.
This should be on anyone's must-do list when visiting Amsterdam. I was expecting a small covert church behind a secret door, but this is a full sized church in the roof space of the three houses below. The tour is self-guided with an audio device giving commentary at key points. Highly recommended.
