Built as Dutch Reformed Church. Important modern church building with tower.

There are no written sources available about the origin and construction history of this church. The church was probably built in the 13th century. In 1371, Mensingeweer was listed as a parish together with Maarslag. It was initially a simple hall church with a straight choir closure where Roman Catholic services were held until the Reformation. The church is built in large-format monastery bricks that are hidden from view by a flat white-painted plaster that was applied in 1842. Only on the first floor of the tower is a fragment of the original brickwork still visible in the form of brick blind niches with decorative brickwork. After a major restoration, the Michaëlskerk was put back into use on Saturday, October 25, 2003. The church has been restored in phases since 1999. The restoration of the exterior was completed in 2000. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

Historic church with roof turret. Built as Dutch Reformed Church. Replaced an older church, originally dedicated to Saint Michael. In 2006, the Reformed and Protestant Churches in Koudekerke formally merged and became, as it is called, a PKN congregation.

This church was originally dedicated to Saint Michael and was a daughter church of the church in Doorn. Both churches fell under the archdeacon of Utrecht. The chapel must have been built between 1250 and 1300 as a single-aisled building. It was first mentioned in 1312. The church tower must have been built against the west facade of the church around 1500. The nave of the church must have been built at the beginning of the 14th century, between 1300 and 1325. The choir and nave both show a late Romanesque construction.
