Interesting neoclassical church with historic tower. After the Reformation, the committee that was set up to prepare the construction of the Catholic church in Loenen received permission from King Willem II on 13 February 1846 to start construction. The king gave a subsidy of 6,000 guilders on condition that the church would be built by Waterstaat. The total cost of the church amounted to fl. 13,332.--. The Hackfort family (Kasteel ter Horst) donated a newly built parsonage as well as the land for the church, garden and cemetery, but on condition that they would have the first two pews of the new church at their disposal and that they would have the right to make their own family burial vault in the cemetery. The “Horsten benches” are still in the church. The coats of arms of the Hackfort family and the Van Wijnbergen family are on the doors.

Built in the Wilhelminadorp district, in the south of Best. Architecturally important reconstruction church in traditionalist forms, derived from Romanesque. Three-aisled design with wide central nave, based on the concept of the people's church. Low, squat tower with tent roof above the choir. Many interesting details, including a series of stained glass windows. At the end of 2012, unrest and resistance arose within this parish against the plans to form a merger parish with Oirschot. After intensive consultation, this merger parish was realized and bears the name Sint-Odulphus van Brabant.

Interesting neo-Gothic church with ridge turret at the crossing and unfinished facade. Beautiful, colorful, post-war stained glass windows. New parish in southern city expansion Nijmegen. Foundation stone April 4, 1916; consecrated June 20, 1917. Three-aisled cruciform basilica, mainly in late neo-Gothic style, on a centralizing floor plan. Hexagonal crossing, flanked by a double transept (transept), and crowned by a dome with ridge turret. At the back of both transept arms are stair turrets. Pillars, arches and vault ribs are made of fair-faced brickwork; the walls and vault surfaces are largely plastered. This church is listed as a Municipal Monument of the Netherlands.

Roman Catholic Church St. Anthony of Padua, 1843 by TF Suys, high neoclassical pilaster facade. Two-manual electro-pneumatic organ made in 1913 by the Adema company, modified in 1952 and in 1989. In the last modification, the console was placed in the middle of the organ.

Beautiful small neo-Gothic church with a smaller, than originally designed, tower. Built to replace an earlier Roman Catholic church from 1835, which was demolished in 1891. In terms of the village image on site, an extremely interesting, and unique, ensemble of this church (tower) with the nearby situated, higher, certainly also interesting and beautiful, water tower (ao. 1896; architect N. Biezeveld). In the center of Barendrecht there is a similar ensemble: Historic Village Church with tower near the higher water tower.

Roman Catholic parish church of St. Anthony of Padua, located in the south of Ede.

Three-aisled cruciform basilica with multi-faceted closed pseudotransept (transept) in late neo-Gothic style. Typical in the oeuvre of H. Kroes, in which an attempt was made to connect the neo-Gothic style with the renewed Roman Catholic liturgical wishes and spatial concepts of the early twentieth century. The main naves are covered by net vaults. Front tower with balustrade, corner turrets and spire. The inventory and glazing date largely from the construction period and shortly thereafter. This church is listed as a Municipal Monument of the Netherlands.

Replaces the church from 1935 that was destroyed during the war. Like the pre-war church, the current church is built in traditionalist forms, influenced by Romanesque and early Christian architecture. Tower from 1954.

Roman Catholic Church of St. Anthony of Padua. Simple single-nave cruciform church in Gothic forms, built in 1921 after a design by J. Etmans. Internal wooden barrel vault. The church is protected because of the organ with two manuals and attached pedal. Made in 1829 by W. Beekes for the Roman Catholic Station in Breukelen. In 1950 moved to De Hoef. Restored in 1991 by the Elbertse company in Soest.

The history of the current St. Antonius Church in Kortenhoef begins on March 28, 1879, the date of the letter in which the Archbishop of Utrecht, Mgr. Schaepman, authorized the church board to tender the construction of a new church and parsonage. The church had to be built according to the drawing and specifications that architect Alfred Tepe in Utrecht had presented to the Archbishop. The church had to replace a barn church from 1810 (formerly a coach house). It became a neo-Gothic hall church with a tower, which would be provided with diagonal buttresses and four niches in each facade surface of the bell floor.
