St. Urbanus Roman Catholic Church Rectory
Inscription.
In 1843 gebouwd in opdracht van pastoor Breuker naar ontwerp van R. van Zoelen. Voor het bouwen van kerken was van 1824 tot 1868 toestemming nodig van de rijksoverheid, het 'Departement van Binnenlandsche Zaken, Onderwijs en Waterstaat! Dat kon voor de bouw ook subsidie verlenen. De stijl waarin deze pastorie is uitgevoerd, heet daarom ook wel Waterstaatstijl. De opzichter namens waterstaat was H.H. Dansdorp. Op deze plaats stond al in 1653 een gebouw dat als kerk was ingericht. Daarvan bevinden zich nog restanten in de pastorie.
Gemeentelijk monument.
St. Urbanus Roman Catholic Church Rectory
Built in 1843 on behalf of Pastor Breuker and designed by R. van Zoelen. From 1824 to 1868, permission was required from the central government, the 'Department of the Interior, Education and Water Management', to build churches! It could also provide subsidies for construction. The style in which this rectory is designed is therefore also called Waterstaat (Water State) style. The supervisor on behalf of water management was H.H. Dansdorp. There was a building on this site that was designed as a church as early as 1653. There are still remains of this in the rectory.
A County-monument.

From station to church (in translation): The church was started here in 1350 as a station (place of a missionary). In 1461, Pope Pius II gave permission to celebrate Holy Mass there. From 1824 to 1868, permission was required from the government (Department of the Interior, Education and Water Management) to erect church buildings, which could also grant subsidies for construction. After the Alteration of May 26, 1578, when Amsterdam converted to Protestantism, the open practice of the Catholic religion was also prohibited in Duivendrecht. The inhabitants of Duivendrecht then took refuge at the station of Sint Petrus' Banden in Diemen. In 1652, despite resistance from Diemen, Duivendrecht became an independent station, dedicated to Saint Urbanus. A secret church was set up on a farm, on what is now the Rijksstraatweg. This served until 1840 when it had become so dilapidated that it was decided to build a new one. Remnants of the Waterstaat church from 1853 are still visible in the parsonage. The parish was founded in 1858.(Submitted on November 8, 2023.)
