Probably built in the mid-1980s, the Casal del Germà Miquel is a religious building in Premià de Mar, Catalonia.

The Casal del Germà Miquel, located in Premià de Mar, a town in Catalonia’s Maresme district, sits at the corner of two streets. Probably built in the mid-1980s, it is situated next to the rectoria. Along the Carrer de la Rectoria, it follows the architectural style of the rectoria for its doors and windows, while along Carrer de Sant Cristòfol, the openings take on straighter shapes more typical of ground-floor housing with a portal and window, and a first floor with a window and balcony.

The walls are made of stone and the plastered part was painted violet. The building is a religious structure and its use was probably to provide a service to the most needy people of the population.

Today, the building remains included in the Inventory of Architectural Heritage of Catalonia, preserving its history in the town of Premià de Mar.
