Our Lady of the Assumption, consecrated 1885, Alfred Tepe. Three-aisled neo-Gothic cruciform basilica with octagonal crossing tower and external design with motifs derived from Romanesque: lesenes, arched friezes and small round upper windows. The crossing tower and the use of Romanesque motifs make this church an exceptional work in Tepe's oeuvre.

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

The church of Onze Lieve Vrouw ten Hemelopneming (Our Lady of Hemelopneming) is a Roman Catholic Church built in 1846 in Achthuizen. It is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

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

Roman Catholic brick dome church with tower and consistory designed in 1952 by Alphons M. Siebers (1893-1978) and Wilhelm M. van Dael (1912-1985). The architectural firm Van Zantbeek en Schoonis from Sas van Gent was responsible for the execution in the years 1953-1954. The church was built in a traditionalist style according to the principles of the Bossche School. It can be seen as Siebers' built argument in his discussion with JAC Tillema in the Katholiek Bouwblad in 1951-1952 about the values ​​of post-war (Catholic) church construction and the relationship between liturgy and architecture. Important artists made high-quality contributions in the form of stone and sculpture, bronze works and paintings. The church was built as a successor to the church that was partly destroyed on 20 September 1944, whereby the building site was moved slightly to the southwest and a row of houses was demolished for the sake of a better urban and visual connection to the Market. The painted Stations of the Cross from 1938 by the Ghent artist Alberic Ysabie - on which parishioners were also depicted - were taken from the predecessor. The church is known as the Holy Assumption of Mary.

Important reconstruction church with tower. Replaced the old, demolished church from 1848. Three-aisled basilica church with a front tower, crowned by a saddle roof. Characteristic work in the oeuvre of J. van Dongen Jr., in traditionalist forms (Delft School), and stylistically influenced by, among others, early Christian and early Romanesque church architecture.

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.

In 1648, the practice of the Catholic religion was prohibited and the old church came into the possession of the Reformed. The parishioners first moved to the chapel of IJpelaar Castle. From 1683, a barn church was used. In 1809, the badly dilapidated old church of Bavel was returned to the Roman Catholics. After the Catholic hierarchy was restored in the Netherlands in 1853 and there were dioceses with bishops again, the existing parish of Bavel was confirmed in 1855 by the Breda bishop Mgr. Van Hooydonk. The old parish boundaries were practically maintained. In addition to Saint Brigida, the parish now had Our Lady as its first patroness and the church became the church of Our Lady of the Assumption (also called H. Maria Hemelvaart). Because the almost 400-year- old church had become too small, pastor Leyten decided to build a new church. Architect JJ van Langelaar, a student of Pierre Cuypers, was commissioned to design the church, after which construction began and a foundation stone was laid on 6 April 1886. On 23 May 1887, the church was consecrated by former pastor Leyten, who had since been ordained bishop.

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