LORD IN THE ATTIC CHURCH MUSEUM
For those who love doing Visita Iglesia (Church Visit), a visit to the Our Lord in the Attic Church is a must.  Built during the Reformation, when Catholics in the city were forbidden to hold public services, this hidden church museum is definitely one of the many unique attractions in Amsterdam.
