Extremely important, large, monumental, main church, with tower and large roof turret, in Eindhoven-Strijp.
In the Strijp district. Interesting, large and in many details well preserved church with tower by architect F. Jantzen. This was the 2nd Reformed Church in Eindhoven, after the small Vaste Burchtkerk in the centre of Eindhoven. Out of use as NH Church in 1974, since then in use as Christian Reformed Church, which until then had used the smaller church on Plaggenstraat (church building Plaggenstraat taken over by Geref. Gemeente).
The previous wooden church , built as a Christian Reformed emergency church, was destroyed by fire in 1935.
Nice modern church, characteristic of this church community. Modest octagonal brick building in modernist style, designed by the architectural firm Hupkes and Van Asperen and built in 1958. The whole is crowned by a central tower of metal, above which is a metal sculpture representing a cross and a radiant sun, which is the symbol of the New Apostolic church community.
