Our Lord In The Attic Museum Entrance Ticket In Amsterdam

This is incredible, a must add to the list of things to do around Amsterdam.

Roughly 30 Euros buy two people admission to one of Amsterdam’s tucked away treasures. Allow rough 90 minutes and be prepared for narrow stairs to climb into a full Catholic Church hidden in plain sight. It was a quiet tour with plenty of comments played over the included audio player. It was a claim and interesting look at history. The windows offer some very nice views of Amsterdam.

Enjoy this hidden gem. Would highly recommend especially for those who are Christian/Catholic.

A must see in Amsterdam. Tour includes both the canal house and the attic church. Numerous artifacts and sacred objects. A highlight of our time in the city.

What a great experience! A lesson in history and humanity. The ticket includes a free audio tour which was wonderful.

Very unique and interesting museum. With an audio guide, you can go at your own pace. Lots of narrow stairs. We spent about an hour in the museum.

Who would have thought it, a complete church with organ, pulpit, altar and pews in someone's attic. Built during the religious persecutions hundreds of years ago when catholic churches were not to be used, some people built a church in their attic, and this is the only surviving one. Well worth a visit, this ingenuity will amaze you.

OUTSTANDING-Very well organize!!!! Lockers to save your items, the WHOLE Museum was CLEAN!!!! Able to scan each area to listen the history and it was not overwhelming.

This was a completely unexpected highlight of our visit to Amsterdam. I highly recommend taking a couple of hours to see it and learn the fascinating history of this unique space. It was so interesting and fascinating to see everything so well preserved. It is definitely worth a visit.

This Museum does an excellent job of portraying the interior of a canal house, a “hidden church“ that was popular for Catholics during the time of the Protestant reformation, and the issues of capitalism and religion that were ongoing throughout history of the Dutch people. Easy to walk in and get tickets. There are some narrow stairs, but nothing unusual for Amsterdam. The audio guide works very well.

Fascinating! Beautiful church hidden away full of history. Very well done and informative. Good narration during the tour. Highly recommended!

My sister-in-law told me about this place and recommended I see it. Otherwise, I would never have known about it. At one time, Protestants were the major religion in the Netherlands and while other religions were allowed, they could not have visible places of worship. So they gathered in homes. This place is where the Catholics put a church at the top of a private home. The church is beautiful and much larger than you would expect. I don't want to spoil the whole thing as it was a beautiful discovery to go there. I just recommend that you go and see it for yourself. It's worth it!

Absolutely a must if you are a Christian and even if you are not! They do a fantastic job sharing the whole story of the entire place. I am not normally a history loving person, but this kept me interested the entire time!

Really interesting Roman Catholic Church, built covertly in the top floors of a canal-side merchant’s house. We paid £15.50 each for tickets. The museum has a free audio guide. The tour explains how Protestantism became the only religion which was permitted to be practiced in public when the state on the Netherlands was formed, although people were allowed to worship in private if they were not Protestants. We spent about 90 minutes on the tour. The museum also has a cafe, shop and toilets.

Our visit exceeded our expectations. While we expected to see an interesting chapel, we didn’t expect to learn so much history and to be as impressed as we were with what we found there. Highly recommend!

This is a hidden gem and a very edifying experience, especially if you are Catholic or a Christian. The historical significance is also moving. This is a lesser known tourist destination also so it’s a great place to get away from the crowds.

This was very interesting. The self-guided tour provided a lot of information. A friend had recommended this site to us, we wouldn’t have known about it. It was very worthwhile to see!

Fantastic, really interesting to see how you would have lived in a traditional city house in Amsterdam a few hundred years ago. Then you get to the Church and wow a "How did they do that" moment. Well worth a visit if you have an hour to spare.

Fabulous Museum. It was number 1 on my list to see. A dear friend recommended this museum. As a Roman Catholic, it was very important for me to see it. It was the number 1 reason I wanted to come.

This museum is strongly recommended, we really enjoyed our visit, but unfortunately we had to pay again as my transaction was showing pending, it didn’t clear until the next day and thought staff assured me they would refund my tickets if it went through they refused and suggested we get in touch with our 3rd party which is aviator, don’t know why it was delayed by pending.

A relative suggested we visit and we weren’t disappointed. It was fascinating to hear the history and see the church and realise this had also been someone’s house! Glad we took the time to visit. The audio system is very good and the staff very friendly and helpful. There’s a small cafe and we took time for a coffee when we’d finished. A word of warning, the steps are very steep.

This tour is enlightening. You will learn about life in Amsterdam. Living in theses multistory houses. You will also learn about the Catholic community response to the oppression. The church in the attic includes a full church. Organ, baptism, chapel. Choir loft seating and altar. All while maintaining a household and daily life. We are not Catholic and enjoyed the experience.

This was better than we expected. The audio tour was perfect. Gave enough information to understand the purpose of this church without overwhelming you. It was an hour well spent. They also have a nice cafe and gift shop with high quality items.

I had the Iamamsterdam card and entrance for this was included. The entry fee is 18 euros and I will base my review on this. This is a church that was hidden inside a house back in olden times, when Catholicism was banned. In Amsterdam, places such as these were known about, but tolerated. There is a map inside showing locations of all the known hidden house churches in Amsterdam and there were quite a few. The house/church itself is a good attraction. It is all stairs and there is plenty to see before you come to the church at the end. You would never guess from outside the building what was hiding inside it. The main centrepiece behind the priests pulpit is actually just decorated wood, but it is so intricately decorated you would not know it. The final stairs going up to the attic is ok going up but coming back down is quite steep. Well worth a visit and well worth the entry fee.

Wow! This small house has a HUGE church upstairs! Incredible building and very informative audio tour. A really excellent visit.

Such a great tour and so thorough. The audio tour explained everything well. I am so glad I found this to visit while in Amsterdam! It was definitely a highlight of our trip.

Great experience. Get to see inside and Amsterdam house and an amazing church with a lot of history..

We found it fascinating and very interesting. My 10 year old kids loved it.

Amazing to see and visit. Had no idea these church houses existed. Lots of narrow stairs. Very interesting narrative.

It is a very beautiful and unique religious experience. The stairs are challenging, but well worth it. The audio tour was very interesting and detailed.

A surprising, delightful small museum. The museum very nicely illustrates an interesting period in Amsterdam’s history. Worth a visit. Lots of steps to climb.

Highly recommend a trip here - wonderful to see inside an old canal-side house and the amazing church spanning the top floor!

My friend fell and we never were able to make the excursion. I’m sure it would’ve been a good time, but we never saw it.

Our Lord in the Attic museum was a real gem. It has been well maintained and provided great perspective on the structure and function of the older homes in Amsterdam. The history behind the church in the attic and religion in Amsterdam was also insightful.

Nice interesting visit. Well set up. Lots of information. Free lockers in case you require them. Lots of stairs but not a tiring experience.

Highly recommend a visit to this museum, using the audio supplied it was easy to learn about different aspects about the history of Amsterdam. We really enjoyed the morning spent here.

We discovered Our Lord in the Attic Museum completely by chance while looking for shelter from a rain shower — and what a wonderful surprise it turned out to be. The museum is beautifully curated and offers a fascinating insight into Amsterdam’s history in a very authentic and atmospheric setting. The audio guide was excellent and added so much to the experience. Every room had something interesting to discover, and the hidden church in the attic is truly impressive. The only thing to keep in mind is that there are many steep stairs, which could be challenging for some visitors. Other than that, an absolutely fantastic museum and highly recommended!

Fascinting insight into Amsterdam history and life. Well organised and lovely to visit, especially as quieter than other places.... though you have to be prepared for a lot of very steep stairs.

Our visit to Our Lord in the Attic was very informative and enjoyable. It took about an hour and a half. After we stopped in the cafe for coffee and tea. It was well worth the effort to climb the many stairs.

There are a lot of great things to see and do in Amsterdam, and this surprisingly does not make the top tier for most. For me, it was amazing and my second favorite attraction after Anne Frank. Now before it looks like I'm piling on the Dutch about religious freedom, I would like to distinguish a couple of huge differences between these two attractions. From an American point of view, it seems like to the two are similar and terrible; however, one is legitimate practice in a clandestine church and the other is vial extermination. The Anne Frank situation where you hunt down, jail and exterminate people of a specific religion is horrible and should never be repeated. While the practice of a clandestine church is inconsistent with today's religious freedom, in its own time, the practice was one of the most open and tolerant in the world. Unlike much of the world at this time that would either jail or execute you for the practice of a religion different than the official state one, here they did not jail or execute, but simply asked that anything other than Dutch Reformed religious practice be done in private. In private, it was actually permitted which is far more gracious than the way the Dutch were treated by their former Catholic, Spanish sovereign. The building, which is a beautiful canal house of a wealthy Catholic merchant, doubled as both a home and church for many of the Catholics in Amsterdam until 1880s when St. Nicholas Catholic Church was built. You start by seeing some of the normal rooms of any canal home. (Your ticket comes with a 50-minute audio tour that is very good.) As you climb you begin to see more rooms that function with a religious purpose such as a confessional room and a room for the priest to live. Near the top, essentially the attic, you come to the church which has its own nave, alter and balcony. It even has its own mini organ. An advantage of these Dutch houses, the architecture perfectly blends with additional seating in not one but two balconies. There is even a pulpit that extends from a column in the alter. There are even side chapels and a baptismal font. The house and the church space are interesting but also beautiful on their own. It is a moving place to visit, understanding how important someone's faith is to them, even if they have to practice in secret. It also shows just how amazing and unusual it was to allow someone to do something different. Again, this is an important sight to visit in Amsterdam. Please know that we had no problem buying tickets at the door; however, we were there when it open. I cannot remember the price, but the experience was totally worth it, and it was not too crowded

My wife and I have traveled enough we appreciate quirky, offbeat, or eclectic tours or attractions that exceed expectations and this attraction definitely fits the bill. If you are wondering what the inside of a 17th century home along a canal in Amsterdam is like or if you are interested in history, then you will like this attraction. The stairs are steep and narrow and may represent an obstacle to some but most people with find it interesting to experience a segment of life from 17th century Amsterdam. This is a self-guided audio tour. The audio portion of the tour was interesting, succinct but complete, and worked well technologically. The staff was helpful and friendly. The Catholic church in the top three floors of the home was interesting and beautiful and the history of how it came to be is interesting. It was nice to leave the crowded streets of Amsterdam for this quiet and uncrowded attraction. We pre-purchased tickets but suspect it would rarely, if ever, be necessary to prepurchase tickets but we attended on a Tuesday so the weekends might be more crowded, and tickets might be limited. We spent a little over an hour at this attraction. Highly recommended.

Excellent experience! Remarkable "house" church with so much history. Very helpful audio tour.

The place is totally unique. The history of the occupants and their life and work interesting. The church in the attic how it was built and hidden totally amazing. The audio guide was very informative. Washrooms clean, storage of bags great. The little gift store was great. I even bought a soft toy for my granddaughter. Totally recommended. One of the best places I have visited in Amsterdam

This was well worth a visit - it’s not just the church, the whole building is still as it was 400 odd years ago, so you get a real feel for how it was. The history of the church is very interesting and the audio guide explains everything really well.

This was a fascinating place to visit. It is a somewhat hidden gem which should be near the top of the list for places to visit in Amsterdam. It harks back to a time when people were not free to follow their choice religion. The property is well maintained and the audio tour is succinct but excellent.

Thanks to a friend’s recommendation I visited this incredible “home” church. Who knew! It’s so well preserved that I was amazed that one can visit it. It was such an interesting building with so much history! Highly recommend a visit.

What an amazing place. The tour was clearly laid out and audio guide was just enough information, not overwhelming or boring. The church is really breathtaking. The only downside was the plan of the house was confusing and we are still not sure exactly who lived where. But it really is a spectacular museum.

Loved my visit here. It’s like a time capsule right in the middle of the city. The audio guide is very informative and easy to follow. Definitely worth the stop!

A fascinating museum that leads you through the various room by way of interesting recordings that explain the history and significance of different parts of the house. Finally, you reach the church at the top of the house which was far bigger than I was expecting. Definitely worth a visit.
