What You Get For the $ in Antwerp, Belgium: A Converted Chapel for Sale

LinkParty
When my darling friend, Anita of Castles, Crowns and Cottages decided to host another European link party, I couldn’t resist joining in on the fun. Today, we’re headed to Antwerp, Belgium to tour a four-bedroom home in a converted chapel that is now on the market for $1.51 million.

According to Tim Van de Velde of the NYTimes(where I spotted this gem), children from the village took bible classes here.

This moated Wissekerke castle that was once occupied by local nobility is now an art museum and a local attraction for weddings. Guess what? It’s only 150 yards away from the converted chapel. Buyers should love that, right!? Please visit Anita to be whisked away all over Europe! xx

    Hello Stacy,
    What a beautiful converted home..
    It certainly would be a great selling point to have Wissekerke castle so very close.
    Thank you for the tour!

    Hi Stacey,
    The idea of converting a chapel into a private home is a great idea! The pretty ceilings, the amazing windows, the wood floors, love it!

    Came to visit you from Anita's link party, and am going to keep reading your posts - I like the way your mind thinks!

    Happy Sunday!

    Seriously, swoon over those windows! It's amazing what you can get in 1 area and with such amazing detail. The same price would buy a small, modern apartment in my area!
