The church building De Regenboog was built as a Reformed Church in 1972; it replaced a smaller building on the same site. The architect of De Regenboog, Arco Cooiman, opted for a symbolic and at the same time functional design. You enter the church through the meeting room, called the Voorhof. He also wanted you to be able to look outside while sitting in the church. In 2016, De Regenboog was renovated and redecorated, using furniture from the Trefpuntkerk in Alkmaar, which closed in early 2016.

In 1971, the initiative was taken in the then new Merenwijk district to establish an ecumenical church centre (Dutch Reformed Church, Reformed Church and Roman Catholic Church).

De Regenboog was built in 1924. This church is listed as a Municipal Monument of the Netherlands.

Built as a church of the Reformed Community of Nuenen (Dutch Reformed + Reformed Church together) 1998-1999. Now a church of the Protestant (PKN) Church of Nuenen. Architecturally and functionally successful modern church. Previously, for larger celebrations, for which the historic NH Van Gogh church was too small, the former RK Chapel of Huize De Vank, near (west of) De Regenboog, was used. An earlier church by architect I. Povse was the Kruiskerk in Geleen-Oost.
