Oude Sint-Jacobskerk, Church building and military barracks in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands

The Oude Sint-Jacobskerk features brick architecture, light windows, and an expansive interior space modified with three additional floors during its military period.

Built in 1584 as a Catholic church, the structure changed functions after 1629 when State forces captured 's-Hertogenbosch and prohibited public Catholic worship.

The building transformed from a religious site to various secular uses, including a Protestant church, carriage house, stable, and military storage facility.

Located at Bethaniestraat 4, the building now stores architectural and archaeological findings belonging to the municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch.

The structure served as the Noordbrabants Museum from 1920 to 1987, following renovations by architect Oscar de Leeuw who added Art Deco elements.
