Apeldoorn, NL
Our Lady of the Assumption, consecrated 1885, Alfred Tepe. Three-aisled neo-Gothic cruciform basilica with octagonal crossing tower and external design with motifs derived from Romanesque: lesenes, arched friezes and small round upper windows. The crossing tower and the use of Romanesque motifs make this church an exceptional work in Tepe's oeuvre.

Interesting, large, modern church with detached tower, in which 3 bells. The 3 bells were transferred from the old church. In addition, there is a small bell from Schaft, cast in 1667 by François Delapaix. (This tower is very similar to that of the RK Kerk HH Harten in Eindhoven-Gestel, designed by the same architects). In the hall of this church is a model of the previous church.

Beltrum, NL
The current parish church of Our Lady of the Assumption of Mary in Beltrum was built after a period of renovations and expansions. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, a water board church stood here, which was expanded in 1862-1864 to a design by HJ Wennekers. In 1894, the church was again renovated by WVA Tepe; that is when the current neo-Gothic tower was built. The last major expansion took place in 1929-'30 under the direction of architect GAP de Kort. On the site of the former nave, the current nave and transept were built under slight influence of the brick expressionism of the 1920s.

Important reconstruction church with tower. Replaced the old, demolished church from 1848. Three-aisled basilica church with a front tower, crowned by a saddle roof.

Beugen, NL
The old church from 1420 remained fairly constant until the renovation / restoration in 1879 by PJH Cuypers. In 1932 enlarged by architect Van de Leur in Nijmegen, by creating a transept. Also side rooms around the chancel from 1420. Damaged by war in 1944 (the tower was blown up). The same architect Van de Leur restored and enlarged the church in 1954: the nave and the tower were restored in the old style, whereby the width of the side aisles of the nave was doubled.
