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.

The current parish church of Our Lady of the Assumption of Mary in Beltrum was built after a period of renovations and expansions. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, a water board church stood here, which was expanded in 1862-1864 to a design by HJ Wennekers. In 1894, the church was again renovated by WVA Tepe; that is when the current neo-Gothic tower was built. The last major expansion took place in 1929-'30 under the direction of architect GAP de Kort. On the site of the former nave, the current nave and transept were built under slight influence of the brick expressionism of the 1920s.

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.

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.

This church was built after the previous church was irreparably damaged by war violence. The design for the church is by the architect Kees de Bever (Vught, 26 March 1897 - 9 January 1965) a cruciform church in traditionalist style with a tower placed on the side, a semi-circular apse instead of a choir and attached sacristies to the transepts, a central nave with side aisles. Above the main entrance, on the facade a canopy in which the gilded statue of Mary, originating from the tower of the previous church, is included.
