Shortly after the embankment of 1364, Mastenbroek became an independent parish. At the same time, probably between 1364 and 1369, the church was built. The church was dedicated to Onze Lieve Vrouwe ter Zon. The church building was repeatedly restored and renovated, for example after a fire in 1647, of which renovation one of the inscriptions at the entrance still reminds us. The choir (1531) of the late Gothic single-nave building is somewhat narrower than the nave (1647). The tower was replaced by a new one in 1845.

Since the 12th century, Helvoirt has had a religious community of Christians who meet in a chapel (from 1192), dependent on the church of Oisterwijk. This chapel has been renovated several times. Around 1300, the church was elevated to parish church and dedicated to Saint Nicholas. After renovations, a Romanesque church was built around 1375. Around 1510, this church was given its Gothic form after major renovations. In 1617, the church was reconsecrated, but after Staats-Brabant had become part of the Republic of the United Netherlands again through the reconquests (1635) from the Spanish of Prince Frederik Hendrik, the church came into the hands of the Dutch Reformed. Between 1710 and 1792, the tower was used as a town hall and aldermen's law was held there. During the Napoleonic period (in 1809), the church building was assigned to the Roman Catholics, but ultimately remained in the possession of the Protestants. In the years 1967-1969 the tower and the church were restored under the direction of the architectural firm J. de Wilde from Breda. The execution was carried out by the construction company Nico de Bont en Zonen from Nieuwkuijk. On 19 October 1969 the church was officially put back into use with an ecumenical service.

The current Protestant Old Church on Kerkstraat dates back to the 14th century and was formerly dedicated to St. Laurentius. During a storm in May 1928, the roof of the nave of the church collapsed. It has always remained a ruin. The tower is still there. The choir and transept of the Laurentius Church serve as the local Protestant church. The owner of the church is now the Stichting Oude Kerk. There are plans to restore the church and tower and conserve the nave. However, 1.2 million euros are needed for this.

The Reformed Church with Sacristan's House was built in 1931-1932 in the style of Traditionalism with elements of Business Expressionism and Berlagian influences, designed by architects Jan and Theo Stuivinga from Zeist. The church is located on the Tempsplein on the corner with the Ds. Jongeneelstraat and is connected by a corridor to the adjacent sacristan's house on the Ds. Jongeneelstraat. In 1974, among other things, single-storey volumes were built behind the church. The church and the sacristan's house were renovated in 1993. Secondary windows were installed.
