Ioannis Theaterchurch, Theater church in Wier, Netherlands.
Ioannis Theaterchurch is a former church building in Wier featuring a single-nave interior with a semi-circular choir and a distinctive three-part tower. The structure was redesigned in the 2010s to serve as a cultural venue for artistic performances and events.
Construction began in the 12th century using bricks from nearby monasteries, establishing the building as a religious center for centuries. The transformation into a cultural space occurred in the early 2000s, giving the former church a new purpose.
The building now hosts theater productions, musical performances, exhibitions, and dance shows throughout the year. Visitors can experience a variety of artistic events that bring the space to life in unexpected ways.
The building sits within a landscaped garden with walkways that provide access to different areas around the site. Visitors should check ahead for current programming, as access and visiting conditions depend on scheduled events at the venue.
The surrounding Lauta Night Garden features a hill with an astronomy chart table designed for educational stargazing activities. This unexpected element combines the venue's artistic focus with hands-on learning opportunities in a distinctive way.
