This church replaced a smaller parish church, elsewhere in the city centre, which had become too small. The church is considered an important work in the oeuvre of Dom. P. Bellot and HC van de Leur.

The current church was built in the years 1852-1856 to an early design by Carl Weber . The construction was made possible by a large financial contribution from Count Jean Baptiste Marchant d'Ansembourg, who in return received a count's chapel in the church reserved for his family and the right to be buried near the church. The new church replaced the old village church, which was dedicated to St. Gertrude. This church had existed since at least the 14th century.

Characteristic Stuytkerk with tower replacing the predecessor built by Cuypers .

Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. 1855-1856, Th. Molkenboer. Neo-Gothic pseudo-basilica with transept. Tower with squat square bell storey, accompanied by incurved buttresses. Plastered interior with slender clustered pillars, capitals executed in stucco, niches with high-Gothic tracery above the arches and stuccoed wooden cross-ribbed vaults. High altar with large retable, in which statues, all executed in marbled wood by Veneman in Den Bosch. Marble statues by Mengelberg, copper baptismal font modelled on the 16th century font in Zutphen by JHBrom, 1887-1888.

Interesting expressionist church with tower and roof turret. Replaced an earlier church building.

Emergency church in former barracks, out of use, demolished 1964.

This church replaced a temporary emergency church. In that emergency church, the Gebr. Muller from Reifferscheid built an organ that was moved to the new church when it was put into use in 1892. It was not until 1905/1906 that the Gebr. Franssen from Roermond built a new organ in the new church. Over the years, some changes have been made to this organ. After the restoration of the church in 1996, it was decided to restore the organ as well. Adema's church organ building in Hillegom carried out that restoration. And on Sunday 15 May 2011, the restored Franssen organ was festively put into use.
