A complete church hidden in an attic — 150 seats, gilded altar, and the authorities never knew

A complete Catholic church hidden in the attic of a 17th-century canal house — built when Catholics were forbidden to worship publicly. Three floors of a perfectly preserved Golden Age merchant's home lead up to a soaring, gilded church that could seat 150. One of Amsterdam's most astonishing secrets.
