This small museum, which can easily be overlooked from the outside, is situated in the heart of the red-light district. The lower floors give the impression of an entirely normal merchant's house dating from the 17th century. The canal house with its many nooks and crannies can be explored upstairs and downstairs. A secret three-storey Catholic church that was established in 1661 lies hidden behind the facade of the merchant's house.
