Sketch of the fictional Old Church of Tulpendaal. Now no longer in use and therefore reinstalled as a doctors practice, apothecary, physiotherepeut, social wellfare office who are now all in one location and underneath one roof. The idea is from old disused churches in real Dutch towns that nowadays functions as such.  http://www.bndestem.nl/polopoly_fs/1.4857199.1429022243!/image/image.JPG_gen/derivatives/landscape_800_600/image-4857199.JPG

Seriously.


So, I believe doctors, apothecaries, etc are the better options.

I love it! Gothic and brooding. Have many churches in the Netherlands fallen into disuse?

Thanks man! I would say on a scale: 9 out 10 in each city. We now have many more active Mosques in each town than active Churches! At one point it was even suggested to make the churches be rebuild to make them mosques for the ever so increasing muslims. LUCKELY(!!!) to few people were for it, so it got dismissed. Perhaps not in all towns though and in time it will happen. Because Christianity is nearly completely dead in the Netherlands. Mainly because the church doesn't add anything in modern society, PLUS the HUGE upon HUGE number of pedofile priests worldwide whose beastly behaviour have executed nearly all goodwill to Christendom when going to Dutch court trials. The priest molested boys, the nuns tortured the girls. With so many claims over the decades coming forth... It's more of a wonder that some churches are still active and people keep to the religion.
