The Grote Kerk is called in full St. Peter's Chair in Antioch and is dedicated to the apostle Peter. Around the year 1000, there was already a small hall church here. The current church was mainly built from the 14th to the middle of the 16th century in a regional Gothic style, the Maasland Gothic. The church served as both a chapter church and a parish church.
Originally built as a church for the Ursuline monastery St. Calvaire, founded in 1843, for the purpose of educating girls. Large numbers of pilgrims in honour of a miraculous healing that took place here soon made the construction of a larger church necessary. This was built in 1875-'79 to a design by Joh. Kayser in neo-Gothic style. In 1883, the church was the first Dutch church to be elevated to Basilica Minor by the Vatican. In 1997, an extensive restoration took place.
Roman Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart, 1929-1930, in a Business Expressionist architectural style. Built by order of the Roman Catholic Church Board of the Sacred Heart in Overhoven, based on a design by architect Jos. Wielders in Sittard. Situated in the linear development on the east side of the Geldersestraat, on the south side of the rectorate house and monastery. On the northwest side of the church, as part of the brick property boundary, there is a SACRED HEART STATUE on a brick plinth with the inscription "Feast of the Sacred Heart, 1943". There is a connecting corridor between the sacristy and the rectorate house and monastery. The extension on the east side of this connecting corridor, as well as the renovated entrance to the day chapel with the round brick retaining wall on the southwest side, are EXCLUDED from protection.
