In 2009, the Saint Jakobus Church, located in Utrecht, on Bemuurde Weerd Oostzijde 56, was converted under architectural supervision of Zecc Architecture, into a beautiful modern town house called ”The Residential Church XL.”

Originally built in 1870, the Utrecht Old Catholic Parish had ordered the construction of a church and vicarage. Architect Gerard Gerritsen ‘finished the job’ in a little more than seven months, for the sum of 25,481 florins.

The church tower at the front was unfortunately too heavy for the foundation and had to be demolished in 1889. The Saint Jakobus was a soberly decorated church, being the only church built in Utrecht in the so-called ‘plasterers’ gothic style.

The former Saint Jakobus Church is of historic and architectural significance due to its location and relationship with the surroundings. The church is also registered as municipal monument.

Dimensions (approximately)
• Parcel (own ground) 670 m2
• Living area 475 m2
• Front garden 90 m2
• Back garden 150 m2

The renovated church is for sale right now. If you are interested, please contact Thomas Haukes +31 (0)6 53 67 19 14 | info@wonkerk xl.com
