Beautiful neoclassical church with tower. Restoration in 1947. In Bovensmilde, along the Drentse Hoofdvaart, lies the site with the Reformed Church and associated parsonage. Due to its intactness and beautiful location, the complex was declared a national monument in 1995. These national monuments are of both cultural-historical and architectural-historical importance. In 2010, the church building was transferred by the owner, the Protestant community of Bovensmilde, to Het Drentse Landschap. The parsonage followed in 2015. The church was built between 1868 and 1870 and is a so-called Waterstaatskerk. Such churches were built in the period 1824-1875 with financial support from the national government. The building has neoclassical features, such as the symmetrical construction and the use of pediments and cornices. The parsonage dates from 1862 and is eclectic in style. The parsonage is a national monument.

Reformed church in Maarsbergen, built in 1883-1884 by order of Geertruida Adriana du Bois, widow of CJ Blok. The church is said to have been built in response to the wishes of her brother, Aalt du Bois. The Du Bois family lived in Maarsbergen Castle and had the church built on their own land. The hall church, built in eclectic style, was designed by architects FW van Gendt and AR Freem. The Renaissance features that can also be seen in the Amsterdam Zuider- and Westerkerk can be seen, particularly in the tower and the buttresses. In 1934, the tower was built on the initiative of the Commission for the commemoration of the 50th anniversary, based on plans by architect J. Pothoven. This tower with an open imperial crown replaced a small facade crowning. This original crowning is indicated on the design drawings of the Maarsbergen church. The front and rear facades originally had a simple articulated crowning. On the front facade a bell was placed under a canopy, on the back facade a spherical crowning. The interior has been preserved intact. The organ is protected by the state. A meeting room was built against the back facade of the church, which is not protected. The north facade of this building dates from the 19th century. Originally the building served as a school building.
