History
The church is medieval but became redundant during the 16th century. It became a hall where Dutch merchants sold cloth. In 1637 it was converted into a French Protestant church, and this survived until 1832 when it was sold to the Swedenborgians. In 1869 it became a Catholic Apostolic Church. After closure in the 1950s it became a furniture shop.
