Description
THE THAMERKERK
A Unique Location with Meaning and Character
The Thamerkerk in Uithoorn is an impressive national monument with a rich history and versatile potential. This neoclassical landmark from 1834, recently reduced to an attractive starting price of €895,000 (costs payable by purchaser), presents a rare opportunity for social or cultural organizations and impact-driven investors in search of a meaningful and representative location. For nearly two centuries, the church has stood at the heart of the local community, offering future owners the chance to continue that legacy and create a space that brings people together.
ARCHITECTURE AND HISTORY
Built in the neoclassical style typical of 19th-century Dutch Waterstaat churches, the Thamerkerk once served a thriving Protestant congregation. Upon entering, visitors are met with a serene and authentic atmosphere, enhanced by beautifully preserved elements such as stained-glass windows, original wooden beams and a 1972 pipe organ housed in an 1863 case crafted by Jac. van der Linden and later expanded by W.N. de Jongh. The bell tower contains a historic 1659 bell cast by François Hemony, one of the most renowned bell makers in Dutch history, further underscoring the building’s heritage value.
LOCAL VALUE AND SETTING
The Thamerkerk enjoys strong recognition within Uithoorn and has long served as a visual and social anchor along the banks of the Amstel River. This picturesque setting offers peace and inspiration while maintaining close ties to the town centre, located just a short walk away. Its mix of heritage, tranquillity and accessibility makes it ideal for organizations that value social engagement, visibility and inclusiveness. It is a place where authentic character and natural beauty converge, ensuring every gathering becomes a memorable experience.
LAY-OUT AND USE
The church’s layout is spacious and adaptable, making it well-suited to a variety of uses
Main Hall
Approx. 195 m² of open, bright space, perfect for assemblies, events or performances. Includes a compact pantry with essential facilities.
Ancillary Room
Located to the right of the main hall, currently used for storage, but suitable for use as a studio, meeting space or breakout room thanks to natural light.
Sanitary Facilities
High-quality, accessible restrooms, including two for women, one for individuals with limited mobility, one for men (with additional urinals) and a separate toilet near the ancillary room.
Balcony
Approx. 65 m², offering elevated views of the main hall, ideal for smaller gatherings or as an extension of larger events.
Organ Gallery
Positioned on the first floor opposite the balcony, housing the historic pipe organ and contributing to the church’s unique ambiance.
ZONING AND FUNCTIONS
Due to its social zoning (Article 10), the Thamerkerk offers excellent possibilities for a wide range of socially oriented uses. Think of educational institutions such as training and educational centres that will find an inspiring learning environment here. Socio-cultural organizations such as libraries, cultural meeting spaces or exhibition venues benefit from a unique setting with historical atmosphere. Religious or spiritual communities will also find an ideal place here for gatherings, celebrations and meditation.
In addition, the building is very well suited for social service providers in care, welfare and support, who can use the church as an accessible venue for care, guidance and social encounters for young and old. These examples highlight the versatility and social value that the church can offer to new users, allowing it to once again fulfil its role as a central and connecting place in the community.
