This exceptional and fully renovated property for sale in Lokeren offers a unique opportunity to acquire a historic neogothic former church complex with extensive potential. Located at Luikstraat 10, this monumental building encompasses a total living area of 1,802 m² set on a 1,397 m² plot. The ensemble includes the remarkable Holy Anthony of Padua Church with its impressive three-aisled structure, a parish hall, and an undeveloped parcel of land, all part of a protected heritage site. Built between 1850 and 1852 and enhanced in 1886 with a striking façade featuring a rose window and elegant roof tower, this property stands as an extraordinary example of religious architecture complemented by valuable interior elements such as wooden cross-ribbed vaults, historic paintings, and original choir benches. The interior space is notable for its vast dimensions and authentic features, including a cellar covering 56 m², which adds functional versatility. Although no bedrooms or residential divisions are specified, the building’s monumental character and generous surface area make it suitable for various ambitious projects. Previously envisioned for redevelopment into an indoor playground, cocktail bar, and residential use, the permits were secured before unforeseen circumstances halted progress. Today, the property remains an ideal canvas for creative conversion into a community hub, educational center, mixed-use workspace, or a distinctive residence combined with commercial functions. Single-glazed windows and the absence of lift or disabled access indicate that modernization could further enhance usability while preserving the character of this unique site. Situated in the heart of Lokeren with an excellent G and P environmental score indicating favorable energy and parking conditions, the property commands a price of €750,000. Its location outside any flood risk zones adds to its appeal for sustainable reuse. This is a rare chance to invest in an iconic heritage asset with substantial spatial flexibility and historical significance. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the seller to arrange a detailed tour and receive comprehensive information on redevelopment possibilities documented in the bidbook. Embrace this opportunity to bring your visionary project to life in one of Lokeren’s most distinguished architectural landmarks.
