Beyonce and Jay-Z selling former church in New Orleans. People have a lot of questions

There’s quite a puzzle surrounding a 13,300-square-foot historic mansion named La Casa de Castille in The Big Easy.

The historic landmark, which used to be a church, has hit the real estate market for $4.45 million, but the head-scratching questions regarding the property have stolen the spotlight from the residence’s owners – superstars Beyonce and Jay Z.

The listing on Zillow.com shows stunning photos of a posh church-turned-ballet-school-turned live-in mansion, with elaborate details gushing about the seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom stunner:

“Built in 1925 as a place of worship for the Westminster Presbyterian congregation. This is truly a one of a kind home located among the mansions of the Historic Garden District in New Orleans. It started life as a church then was a ballet school. It has hosted weddings (including ours), events, salons, major recording stars, and corporate executives. It is ideal for the creative types that want large spaces and/or like to entertain. As one Grammy winner said, ‘The acoustics and vibes are great. I did my best writing ever, while watching the sunset from the rooftop garden!””


According to Dirt, the images attached to the listing are from 2015 when the property was last sold.
