The church was closed in 2003 due to declining attendance. It was in the town of Dongen in North Brabant province near the city of Tilburg. There is a Wikipedia article on it: nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sint-Josephkerk_(Dongen)

Technisch was dat mogelijk, maar de kosten van verbouwen en met name het onderhoud van het pand in de jaren daarna was een struikelblok. Dus besloot men tot sloop. En op de plaats waar de kerk stond ligt nu een deel van de centrumring en achter de kerk zijn huizen gebouwd.

Solange die Hintergründe nicht bekannt sind, zumindest mir sind sie es nicht sollte in keine Richtung spekuliert werden. Und bevor ein Gebäude nicht mehr genutzt wird und langsam vor sich hin rottet bis zum Zerfall...wäre ein Abriss sicher eine denkbare Variante. Den Zerfall von, gerade Denkmalgeschützen Gebäuden, welche nur unter enorm hohem, finanziellem Aufwand gemacht werden darf sieht man ja oft genug.
