A Catholic church founded around 1672 in a house called De Papegaai, hidden behind the shopfronts of the Kalverstraat because Catholic churches were not allowed to look like churches. Shoppers duck in for a "quarter of an hour for God" in the silence centre; thousands pass the door on the busiest shopping street without noticing.
