Hip-hop royal couple Jay Z and Beyoncé are rumored to have shelled out nearly $3 million for the purchase of a converted church mansion in New Orleans.

Variety reports the 13,292-square-foot Spanish Baroque property sits in the heart of the Garden District and is known as the La Casa de Castille. Erected as the Westminster Presbyterian Church, the near century-old property houses four self-contained apartments, including a sweeping owner's quarters of nearly 10,000 square feet that also includes what was once the house of worship's sanctuary.

The house has four bedrooms, four full baths and two half ones. It also has ceilings that rise to 26 feet in the main living space, where the walls are also lined with towering arched windows.

Reportedly, the altar has now been transformed into a dining room and the master suite sits on the third level of what was once the choir loft, making it massive enough to now have been converted into a two-room bath and a dressing area.

On the ground floor are three single bedroom units, each roughly 1,000 square feet with separate side-street access.

For a while now, rumors have circulated that the couple was in the market to acquire property and recently came close to purchasing a 23,000 square-foot modern mansion above the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles that eventually sold for $70 million.

According to Curbed, Beyoncé's older sister, Solange, already owns a store in New Orleans and at least partly resides in the French Quarter.

Variety adds that currently the only property the couple is known to own is a duplex penthouse in Manhattan that Jay Z purchased for roughly $7 million more than a decade ago.
