The church was built around 1400. In 1640, the church was rebuilt on the same foundations using the old parts. The pulpit and some gravestones in the church date from that time. When the population increased significantly in the 19th century due to the establishment of the Maatschappij van Weldadigheid in Frederiksoord, the church was given a side aisle in 1853, which was removed during the restoration in 1964-1967. The tower on the church was built in 1874 to replace an old double bell tower. In 1875, the monumental Van Dam organ was built. The church is located on the churchyard and is a late Gothic single-nave church built around 1400, when it did not yet have a tower. In 1842 it was enlarged with a transept in a northern direction. Above the west facade there is a roof turret. The current tower dates from 1874 and replaced the bell tower. During the restoration of 1960 and 1967, the northern extension was removed and the original appearance was restored.

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 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.

Roman Catholic parish church of Our Lady of the Assumption, built in 1880-1881 to a design by EJ Margry.

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

Simple church with tower. Built to replace the neo-Gothic Roman Catholic church in the hamlet of Oudenrijn (now "de Metaal Kathedraal") that had become too small. Simple version of the expressionist style of Dom Bellot / Delft School. The parish of Our Lady of the Assumption in Oudenrijn / De Meern first used a church on the Rijksstraatweg. Around 1937 plans were made to build a new, larger place of worship, and the Nijmegen architect Hendrik C. van de Leur was commissioned to do so. The church has a robust appearance, largely due to the large tower with an octagonal spire. The tower is in the middle of the front and is Romanesque in shape, with round-arched windows. The church has a basilica nave with lower transepts. The transept on the south side has a lower extension, which houses the sacristy. The end of this extension forms a chapel in the churchyard. Window shape often covered with a herringbone arch, characteristic of Bellot's style.
