The existence of the Reggio Emilia Cathedral is first documented in the mid-9th century, but it must have existed as early as the 5th century. In 1268 the octagonal tiburium, the present bell tower, was built and the apse was given a curvilinear shape. In 1544 Prospero Sogari, known as Clemente, was commissioned to build the new façade. It was started sometime later but was soon interrupted due to lack of means. In 1599, the Sienese architect Cosimo Pugliani considerably modified the interior, incorporating the old Romanesque structure into a Doric entablature. The dome was designed in 1623 by Abbot Messori, a local architect. In the 1960s, the important Romanesque paintings on the façade were removed and placed in the diocesan museum, sheltered from the weather.

The Reginakerk in Zweins was built in 1783 to replace a medieval church of monastic origin dedicated to Regina. The pulpit and arches date from the eighteenth century. The organ dates from 1875.

Simple modern church with roof turret.

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

The organ was built by JF Witte in 1879 for the Old Catholic Church of St. Jacobus "buiten de Waardpoort" in Utrecht. This church was closed in 1990. Firma S. Steendam restored and installed the organ in the Rehobothkerk in Doornspijk in 1995.

Small hall church without a tower.

The old Rehoboth was built in 1932, within walking distance of the Oude Kerk and consisted of three rooms for youth and association work. The church hall was added in 1959 and was first called 'Irene'. In 1986, the old Rehoboth was demolished and replaced by a new building with more space and possibilities. The church hall was renovated and fully integrated into the newly created complex. The youth work and many meetings are housed here. The Church Office is also located here.

This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands. The organ was built by Gebr. Rohlfing in 1923.

As early as 1933, church services were held in the Sunday school room Rehoboth behind the Reformed Martin's Church in Sint Maartensdijk, led by a confessional minister. This building was built by order of baker JM Boogert, who was also a Sunday school teacher. In 1965, a chapel was built on the Westvest, which was given the name "Schrift en Belijdenis". A year later, it was decided to establish an Extraordinary parish and the church was called Rehoboth Church. Since 1978, the parish has no longer been "extraordinary" but is seen as a recognized Reformed sub-municipality. In 1992, the church building was enlarged.

Characteristic Reformed church building, with tower. One of the many church buildings designed by the important Reformed architect Tjeerd Kuipers (1857-1942). Out of use as a Reformed Church in 1989. In use by the Christian community since 1990. Renovated in 1997. A floor was added, which meant that the original spatial effect of the interior was partly lost.
