Villa Bouchina

Religious and Sacred Buildings

Villa Bouchina was the parsonage of the Christian Reformed Church in Doetinchem, in the Dutch province of Gelderland. Between February 27 and April 21, 1943, the house temporarily sheltered nine Jewish residents, including three children, who had been protected from deportation by Anton Mussert, head of the Dutch Nazi Party, despite having been expelled from his own party's membership. On April 21, 1943 the group was deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, where they met varying fates during the Holocaust. The parsonage was later sold to a private buyer after a new church parsonage was built elsewhere in the city.

Has Building Type

Entity-backed identity for the building-type enum value this building already carries, resolved to an architecture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The building-type fact itself stays on the building unchanged.
