Description

Introduction

RECTORY, built in 1866 on the foundation of a church from 1804, according to the design of architect W.J.J. Offenberg from Amsterdam. In 1896 the foundation was renewed under the direction of architect Groenendaal and probably the stepped gable on the south-east corner was built, because space had been created after demolition of the old rectory.

The rectory is situated on the building line on the north side of the Rechtestraat in the village centre of De Rijp, a state-protected village townscape, and on the east side of the Roman Catholic church of Saint Bonifatius, built in 1860-1863 according to the design of W.J.J. Offenberg and J. van Straaten. The church is placed on the national monuments list under monument number: 17162.
