This brother house-school was built in the period 1873-1875 according to a design in neo-Gothic style. The architect was H.J. van Tulder. The assignment was given by the Brothers of Tilburg. From 1880, the building named Mater Dei was used as a school and residence by the Brothers of Maastricht. From 1923 to 1937 it was partly rented to the Sisters of the Divine Savior. From 1939 it was the Mariahuishoudschool. Apartments and shops have been located in the building since 2001.
The two-storey building with an L-shaped plan is characterized by two gables and a large number of windows. The original entrance to the school is located on the left gable. A stone has been cemented into the top panel with the text: This stone was laid by Deken M. Rath at the completion of the Mariahuishoudschool for Helmond and the surrounding area on Maria Ascension Day 1939.
The former school building has cultural-historical values as an example of the development of Catholic education by the congregations and as a specimen of the typological development of the monastery school. It is of architectural-historical importance due to the careful detailing of the brick shapes in frames and crowns and is also important as an example of the work of the renowned Catholic master builder Van Tulder. It has ensemble values due to its location on the old edge of the city against the choir section of the Lambertus Church.
