1. Micha��lkerk was built in 1912 as a Reformed church, replacing its predecessor from 1826.
2. When the Reformed community moved to their new Immanuelkerk in 1960, the building fell into disrepair. However, it was taken over by De Christengemeenschap, a Christian movement based on anthroposophical principles.

In the late 1960s, the church underwent a complete renovation, both inside and out, with white plastering, and eventually surrounded by a group of buildings based on anthroposophical principles (without parallel lines). The church then took the name Michaëlkerk.

• The church serves an area that includes Veldhoven, Eindhoven, and the Kempen.
