The St. Michael's Church is a Roman Catholic Parish in the former village of Heugem aan de Maas, near Maastricht. It was built in several periods which has resulted in its mix of Baroque, neo-Romanesque and Modern architectural styles.

In 1852-1853, a new church was built in Oostelbeers opposite the rectory, designed by P. Boots, a so-called Waterstaatskerk. A barn church was used until 1853. The first Holy Mass was celebrated in the new church on 17 July 1853. This church had 100 seats, was dedicated to Sts Andreas and Antonius van Padua, but had no tower. In 1893, a tower was built against the church, designed by Caspar Franssen.

St. Michael's Church. Single-nave church, built in 1659-1668 with a three-sided closed choir, roof turret and a strikingly richly decorated facade with volutes and pediment. The design is possibly by Father Hieronymus Mauritius from Brussels. Initially used as a monastery church by the Dominican Fathers. In the late 17th century, the sacristy was built against the choir closure with the library above it.

St. Michael, consecrated 1879, architect WVA Tepe. Important church in the oeuvre of this architect. Neo-Gothic cruciform basilica with high west tower, decorated with three niches in three floors each. Balustrades and pinnacles of brick, richly detailed gables on the transept with niches and phials. Octagonal sacristy with floor and tent roof, on which wooden tower on the south side of the choir. Round pillars with colonnettes and moulded capitals. Almost completely preserved Bernulphusgilde inventory. Single manual organ, made in 1758 by JHH Bätz for the Herv. Church in Oosterhout. After residing in two churches in Utrecht, the organ was placed in Schalkwijk in 1987. Mechanical tower clock, Gebr. van Bergen in Midwolda, 1879 (1839?), equipped with electric winding.

Completely according to plan, the current H. Michaëlkerk (800 seats) is consecrated on 23 October 1956 by the first bishop of Groningen, Mgr. PA Nierman. At Pentecost 1955, work began on the large church building designed by architect P. Starmans. The style is mixed: it has the features of a basilica, but also large round Romanesque vaults that give the church a monumental appearance. The 40-metre-high tower will house three bells, Michael, Peter and Mary respectively. The building is 48 metres long, 20 metres wide and 16 metres high and has 800 seats. The Utrecht goldsmith's shop Van Brom provides the church with a contemporary, sleek set of tabernacle, altar cross and candlesticks. On 23 October 1956, the new bishop of Groningen, Mgr. P. Nierman, solemnly inaugurated the church building. The parish of Vollenhove is donating the panel with the image of the Holy Archangel Michael to the new church, which came from the original Michael Church in the disappeared village of Emmeloord on the island of Schokland.

Interesting reconstruction church with tower. Replaced an earlier neo-Gothic church from 1894 designed by Alfred Tepe, of which the rectory remains. After the closure of the St. Laurentius church in Bilthoven, this is the central church of De Bilt and the south of Bilthoven. (Further on in the north of Bilthoven is the OL Vrouw van Ooitdurende Bijstandkerk ).

The second architect was H. Teeken (1900-1950): 'a sober technical and conscientious counterpart of the artist Frits Peutz'. The church would become the new main church of the Eastern Mining Region with a thousand seats. The church is centrally located in the Bekkerveld district, on the edge of a grass field of the same name.

The oldest part of the church probably dates from the 13th century. The first mention dates from 1214. Excavations have shown that there was a rectangular church of 12 by 6 meters. At the beginning of the 13th century, construction of the 47 meter high tower was started and in the 15th century the chancel was built against the hall church. A small chapel was built on the south side for the lords of Ooijen. In 1535 the nave was rebuilt and enlarged. Over the centuries the church was restored several times, including in 1684, 1880-1884, 1920-1930. In 1929 a sacristy was built on the south side of the chancel. The former sacristy became a children's chapel. In 1913 a new organ was installed and in 1914 a pulpit and three new altars. At the time, the church contained beautiful murals, statues and a magnificent Stations of the Cross. On 23 November 1944, the church was blown up by retreating German soldiers and completely destroyed. The historic murals disappeared with the collapsed walls. In addition to the church, the entire church inventory, with the exception of the rich treasure of art objects, was lost.

H. Name of Jesus, 1890-1892, Ch. Weber. Crucifix basilica with large, octagonal dome tower at the crossing, surrounded by square corner towers, of which the two eastern ones each had an octagonal superstructure, which has been demolished. Characteristic example of the Romanesque-Gothic style of Weber's last period, inspired by the Roermond Munsterkerk. Alternating system of pillars and columns, dome vaults with eight ribs on pendentives. Bell by Willem and Jaspers Moer from 1509. In 1985, the two eastern towers were provided with new sections designed by J. de Jong, but considerably lower than the previous towers, in the same style as the church.

The church consists of a 13-15th century nave and 15th century tower (mon.nr 12330) with a neo-Gothic eastern extension designed in 1912 by architect Wolter te Riele Gzn. The extension of the St. Nicholas Church is an exemplary example of Wolter te Riele's attempts to find a synthesis between a basilica and a central building. He shared this aim with Joseph Cuypers and Jan Stuyt. The church contains stained glass windows from 1912 by Frans Nicolas and sons Charles and Francois, from 1953 by Joep Nicolas, from 1963 by Sylvia Nicolas and from 1977 by Jan Schoenaker.
