Museum Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder

The history of Our Lord in the Attic begins in 1661. That is when the wealthy merchant Jan Hartman (1619-1668) bought a prestigious property on Oudezijds Voorburgwal, known popularly as Velvet Burgwal.

The property, today's museum, comprises a house on the canal and two rear houses, with the third floor of the front house forming a single extended attic with the top floors of the two back houses. The new owner decided to start rebuilding immediately. On the ground floor and basement Jan Hartman built a shop and storage room. On the first floor he added a lavish reception room to show off his status and receive guests.

This salon is among the best preserved living rooms of the Dutch Golden Age, a copy of which can be seen in Japan.
