Sint Trudokerk, Catholic church in Strijp, Eindhoven, Netherlands.
Sint Trudokerk is a Catholic church in the Strijp district with a five-nave basilica in neo-Gothic style, designed by architect C. van Dijk in the 1880s. The cruciform layout and soaring vertical lines create an expansive interior space that draws the eye upward.
A medieval church stood on this site from 1402, serving a Reformed congregation until its demolition in 1798. The current Sint Trudokerk was built later as a Catholic replacement and has stood in the neighborhood ever since.
Sint Trudokerk sits in the Strijp neighborhood and shapes the local streetscape with its distinctive form. The building serves as a gathering place for the community to celebrate faith and come together for religious observances.
The church is open to visitors during set times, and it is worth checking conditions before you visit. If you want to see the interior, be respectful of any activities happening inside and the people who gather there.
During restoration work in 1937 and 1938, architects added a western tower and extended the building with two outer side aisles, giving it the form visitors see today. This major renovation transformed the structure and left visible marks of that period's work.
