Tucked away just off Spui, this delightful collection of houses arranged around an open court is well worth searching out.

Definitely worth a quick visit, such a nice and peaceful place with two churches and the oldest house in Amsterdam, from the 1400s (it is the black house right in front of the statue of the Begijn lady). I went as part of Rick Steves free "Amsterdam City Walk" audio guide. Do a search online and download it for free!

‘Een kwartier voor God’ ( a quarter of an hour for God) is written on the sign outside on the very busy ‘Kalverstraat’ in Amsterdam. If you’re not careful you can easily miss it since it’s entrance is not one you would easily notice. A hidden church and indeed an oasis of peace with people who visit services there and some tourists passing by.... its much bigger inside than you would expect and actually crazy this rather big church is hidden so well... a perfect place to light a candle and sit quiet and respectfully to have some profound thoughts..... the nick name of this church is the parrot..... and you will see it inside... you will also find information about its history which is very interesting. No need to say to be respectful, quiet, and to take off that fancy hat...out of respect... I live a stones throw away and come here often. Not because I am a very religious person.... not at all..... but it is so beautifully calm...serene and it is for me the best place in town to pay my respect to the people who are sorely missed .....
