The Pastorie on Hoge Gouwe in Gouda forms a remarkable ensemble with the adjacent Gouwekerk, at a prominent bend in Hoge Gouwe. White House Development purchased the listed national monument in 2017, with the ambition of giving the building a new purpose while respecting its historic character and rich history.
Initially, plans were made to develop the entire complex into a hotel in combination with the neighbouring Gouwekerk. The coronavirus crisis prompted a rethink, and a new purpose was chosen for the Pastorie: the creation of fourteen small-scale, luxury, fully furnished apartments. This change of use made it possible to preserve the listed building and secure a sustainable future for it.
In 2021, the Pastorie was fully renovated by Joint Force Development in collaboration with architect Ed de Rooij of buro deRAB. The interior design was created by The Grid, combining authentic features such as the monumental staircase, the entrance tiling, stained-glass windows and exposed roof structures with modern luxury.
In 2023, the Pastorie opened as a high-end short-stay location with fourteen fully furnished apartments. The homes were rented out and managed by White House Development until July 2025, after which they were sold as starter homes, making a lasting contribution to the housing market in Gouda.
