Clandestine church, Religious sanctuary in Utrecht, Netherlands.
The clandestine church features hidden entrances and concealed passages within residential buildings, enabling discreet access for congregants during times of restriction.

The interior contains religious artworks and decorative elements that reflect the determination of Catholic communities to preserve their traditions under challenging circumstances.
Visitors can access the church through guided tours that explain the architectural features and historical significance of this religious monument.
