After almost a century of persecution of Catholics in Holland, Jan Hartman converted the attic of his house in 1662 into a clandestine church, hidden from the eyes of the authorities. Today it houses the museum Ons'Lieve Heer op Solder (Our Lord in the Attic) in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n
After the Reformation, Amsterdam became a Protestant capital where Catholic worship in public was forbidden. It was at this time that the first secret Catholic churches emerged.<\/p>\n
The transformation of the upper floor into a chapel took place between 1661 and 1663, and later a whole clandestine church was created. At a time when Catholicism was persecuted (from 1578 onwards), it was a good place to continue professing one's faith, although the authorities tended to turn a blind eye to the number of small Catholic churches and congregations that continued to exist.<\/p>\n
On the upper floor of the Amstelkring Museum is a small chapel with narrow pews and two half-tiers suspended from the roof. It is said that more than 150 worshippers could gather in the church.<\/p>\n
The baroque altar is the central axis of the church and its visual center, presided over by the \"Baptism of Christ\" by Jacob de Wit. There is a delicate removable mahogany pulpit on one of the columns of the altar.<\/p>\n
