    On the outskirts of Hoorn, near the West Fries Archives and the Provincial Road, is the Mission House, reportedly the only seminary in West Friesland that is still standing. And we are only talking about the building, because the missionaries already moved out in the 1960s.

    It was the Fathers of Mill Hill who built the Boniface Mission House in 1928. It became a place where young missionaries were trained and where religious who worked in poor countries could catch their breath.

    Water in the cellars
    Marco Pachon y Steur, who bought the building four years ago to give it a new purpose, remembers how he found it at the time. “There was water in the cellars, it was raining, the roof was rotten and there were dead pigeons here and there. It was almost a ghost building.”


    Initially, homes were to be built in the Mission House, as there are already 109 apartments elsewhere on the site, but project developers did not dare. “The building has many corridors and for a project developer these are wasted meters.”
