This concealed Catholic church (the combined top floors of a
17th century canal house) is a reminder of the Alteration period in
Holland. Protestantism was declared the official religion and
churches like this one relied on clandestine activity for their
survival. The building's lower floors became a museum in 1888
housing a collection of church artefacts and paintings. It is
located near the edge of the Red Light District.
