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.

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.

Temporary church that was in use during the construction of the current church and was demolished after it was put into use.

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

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.

This church replaced an older church that was put into use on 16 February 1858. However, after more than half a century, it was in poor condition. Hence the new construction in 1923-'24. The new church, designed by architect M. Roebbers, is a large cruciform church on a centralising floor plan, with a narrowed and lowered semi-circular apse and a high tower to the side. The whole is built in light expressionist forms. The interior is largely executed in fair-faced brickwork and the crossing is covered by a large painted brick dome. During the Second World War, the church and the parish house were damaged and the bells were stolen by the occupier. The war damage has been repaired.

Three-aisled neo-Gothic cruciform church, built 1895-1896 to replace a medieval church. Design by PJ Bekkers and A. Bruning. After damage during the Second World War, the tower was rebuilt in a modified form.

Replaced a clandestine church in Sommelsdijk. Small neoclassical church. Spire from 1912.The organ that JJ Vollebregt ('s-Hertogenbosch) built for this church in 1861 was given a new purpose in 1962 as a choir organ in the Cathedral Church of St. Ignatius and St. Laurentius in Rotterdam. Subsequently, in 1968, after the closure of this cathedral in 1967, this organ was reinstalled in the Kreuzherrenkirche in Düsseldorf.

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.

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