Our Lord of the Attic

|

After the Anne Frank house, Jana wanted to visit the Our Lord in the Attic church in the heart of the red light district. This is a small church built into a 17th century canal house at a time when the dominant protestant faith forbade the public practice of Catholicism. In addition to the church, the canal house turned museum showcased an authentic recreation of a traditional 17th century home. This was one of the most unusual museums around and also one of the most interesting.

Jana had mysteriously "forgotten" to bring her museum card and didn't want to spend any money on a ticket that she could get for free. So while I wandered through the house, she spent an hour exploring the surrounding neighborhood.
