![]() Sint-Michielsgestel (NB) |
Of the medieval St. Michaël's church only the tower in Campine Gothic style remains. This tower dates from the 15th century. The original church was demolished in 1836, after having been returned to the catholics in 1800, and replaced by a new church in neo-Classical style. That church itself was replaced in 1930 by a new church on a different location. Location: Petrus Dondersplein |

In 1930-1931 H.W. Valk built a new St. Michaël's church. This is a so-called christocentric church, intended to provide an optimal view on the altar for everyone inside. Location: Nieuwstraat 34

When the protestant left the St. Michaël they needed a new church. The reformed church of 1808 is a small building in a style that mixes neo-Classicism with Gothic elements. Location: Schijndelseweg 1 |
J.H.H. van Groenendael designed the new Deaf children's institute which was built in 1908-1910. It's obvious that this was a catholic institution as it looks like a monastery, built in neo-Gothic style with a few Jugendstil elements. There were seperate parts for boys and girls, hence the symmetry of the complex. Location: Theerstraat 42 |
