Lonely Planet review

Hidden in the depths of the Red Light District, this fascinating museum has a single exhibit - an entire church, as it turns out. Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder (Our Dear Lord in the Attic) was founded after 1578, when Calvinist rulers outlawed public worship of the other religion. You'll find the city's richest collection of Catholic art, and a fantastic labyrinth of tiled staircases, cubbyhole quarters and items pertaining to the Miracle of Amsterdam.

Once upstairs, you'll find the church itself is unexpectedly grand, with marble columns, steep gallery and a surprisingly good organ.
