This church is listed as a Municipal Monument of the Netherlands.

In 1575, the previous church was largely destroyed by fire. The nave of this church was rebuilt in its original state. The ruins of the choir were never restored. The church was severely damaged by salt water during the flood disaster of 1953. After the disaster, the church was thoroughly restored. The tower was straightened. On 17 July 1958, a new organ was put into use. Because the salt water had penetrated deep into the walls, the plaster layer of the walls regularly came loose. The inside of the walls was thoroughly restored in 1997. A new layer of plaster was applied, which means that the problem of the walls coming loose will probably be a thing of the past. The church is called Sint-Alardskerk.

Dutch Reformed Church. Founded in 1812, rebuilt in 1857. Simple brick building, in plan an elongated back, with flat buttresses, pointed arch windows and roof turret. 17th century oak pulpit, bell cast in 1626, originating from the castle in Helmond.

The older Reformed Church of Ochten was destroyed in the fall of 1944 during the Battle of the Betuwe. The current church building dates from the 1950s, and is a typical example of Protestant church building from the reconstruction period, influenced by traditionalism, and as such a very important reconstruction church. In the tower hangs a bell by Peter van Johan van Trier, 1643. At the end of 2017, the Cuypersgenootschap submitted a request for recognition as a Municipal Monument.

The church, built in 1832, is known for its particularly richly carved pulpit, marked and dated: A. Jelles 1604; originating from Harlingen.

NH Church, built in 1809 in a mixed classical-neo-Gothic style after a design by L. van Heijst; brick hall church with 3/8 closure and an open octagonal tower on the roof. Front facade with pilasters and pediments. Pointed arch windows. Interior: stucco. Oak pulpit from around 1775, brass lectern and baptismal font holder from the same period. An 18th century cabinet organ, which had been here since 1809, has long since disappeared. The current organ was delivered in 1952 by the Vreeken company (Bodegraven).

So-called Lodewijkskerkje, one of the dozens built in North Brabant at the beginning of the 19th century, after the historic churches in various places had to be "returned" to the Roman Catholic Church by the Reformed Church.

This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

The church was restored between early 2000 and spring 2007. The restoration plan was drawn up by the architectural firm Jelle de Jong in Lemmer. That does not mean that there were no churchgoers in the church for seven years. First, the tower was restored. Then the exterior and interior of the church followed. And church services continued as much as possible. 18 gravestones were removed from under the floor. Two of these were very old. The squat (gallery) has disappeared. It was needed at the time when a liberal minister came to Wommels and many churchgoers from Wommels came to Kubaard. After an open house on 21 April 2007, the restored church was officially put back into use. (53-05/58-07)
