Jay-Z and wife Beyonce are now the proud owners of church-turned-mansion New Orleans as they bought it for 2.6 million dollars.

The 'Crazy in Love' singer and her rapper husband purchased a Spanish Baroque 1925-built mansion La Casa de Castile which was first a Westminster Presbyterian Church and later served as a ballet studio, E! Online reported.

The hip-hop couple's new 13,292 square feet villa has 26-foot high ceilings, hardwood floors and three separate apartments with rich red details, chandeliers and an antique claw-foot bathtub.

Also, the home is near to Solange Knowles' own homestead and her French Quarter boutique, Exodus Goods.
