In several architectural respects this church is comparable to the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of Lourdes in Bergen op Zoom, designed at almost the same time, designed by the same architects, with almost the same floor plan, but higher (church hall, tower, dome). As such typical of the late oeuvre of Joseph Cuypers (1861 - 1949) (in collaboration with his son Pierre Cuypers Jr (1891 - 1982)), in which he experimented with the cross between the people's church and the central building.

Large reconstruction church with a large tower. Immediately after the destruction of the medieval parish church on 13/14 May 1943, plans were made to rebuild the church. Ir. GM Leeuwenberg designed a basilica-shaped nave in the style of the Delft School, inspired by the Romanesque architectural style, built in 1949-1950. The tower was built in 1961-1962 on the foundations of the predecessor. The church was also expanded at that time. The carillon was installed in 1965. Two chapels were set up next to the tower: that of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and the Gildenkapel, completed in 1971. The tower was restored in 1981 and 1997. Several authentic objects from the pre-war church can still be seen in the interior. Pulpit from 1656, originating from the old church .

This church was built after the previous church was irreparably damaged by war violence. The design for the church is by the architect Kees de Bever (Vught, 26 March 1897 - 9 January 1965) a cruciform church in traditionalist style with a tower placed on the side, a semi-circular apse instead of a choir and attached sacristies to the transepts, a central nave with side aisles. Above the main entrance, on the facade a canopy in which the gilded statue of Mary, originating from the tower of the previous church, is included.

The church replaced a church from 1852. Characteristic example of Roman Catholic church building from the interbellum, designed according to the idea of ​​the Christocentric people's church. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

This church replaced the previous church from 1838. Three-aisled basilica cruciform church without tower, in light expressionist forms. Sober work in the later oeuvre of Joseph Cuypers (1861 - 1949). Due to the lack of a real tower, this beautiful church is not noticeable enough. The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption on the Utrechtseweg is on the list to be closed. When the Cuypersgenootschap Foundation discovered that the church was not a municipal monument, it asked the board to grant the church the municipal monument status.

Neo-Gothic church, situated on a hill and therefore visible from far. Replaced an earlier church. Expansion, including a tower, 1910 after a design by J. van Gils.

Roman Catholic brick dome church with tower and consistory designed in 1952 by Alphons M. Siebers (1893-1978) and Wilhelm M. van Dael (1912-1985). The architectural firm Van Zantbeek en Schoonis from Sas van Gent was responsible for the execution in the years 1953-1954. The church was built in a traditionalist style according to the principles of the Bossche School. It can be seen as Siebers' built argument in his discussion with JAC Tillema in the Katholiek Bouwblad in 1951-1952 about the values ​​of post-war (Catholic) church construction and the relationship between liturgy and architecture. Important artists made high-quality contributions in the form of stone and sculpture, bronze works and paintings. The church was built as a successor to the church that was partly destroyed on 20 September 1944, whereby the building site was moved slightly to the southwest and a row of houses was demolished for the sake of a better urban and visual connection to the Market. The painted Stations of the Cross from 1938 by the Ghent artist Alberic Ysabie - on which parishioners were also depicted - were taken from the predecessor. The church is known as the Holy Assumption of Mary.

Nice church in neoclassical to neo-Romanesque forms, with a small tower and with reasonably well-preserved inventory.

In 1648, the practice of the Catholic religion was prohibited and the old church came into the possession of the Reformed. The parishioners first moved to the chapel of IJpelaar Castle. From 1683, a barn church was used. In 1809, the badly dilapidated old church of Bavel was returned to the Roman Catholics. After the Catholic hierarchy was restored in the Netherlands in 1853 and there were dioceses with bishops again, the existing parish of Bavel was confirmed in 1855 by the Breda bishop Mgr. Van Hooydonk. The old parish boundaries were practically maintained. In addition to Saint Brigida, the parish now had Our Lady as its first patroness and the church became the church of Our Lady of the Assumption (also called H. Maria Hemelvaart). Because the almost 400-year- old church had become too small, pastor Leyten decided to build a new church. Architect JJ van Langelaar, a student of Pierre Cuypers, was commissioned to design the church, after which construction began and a foundation stone was laid on 6 April 1886. On 23 May 1887, the church was consecrated by former pastor Leyten, who had since been ordained bishop.

Important neo-Gothic church with tower, the only crossing tower of WVA Tepe.
