Important neo-Gothic church building with turret. Built as Dutch Reformed Church. Together with the church on the Maasdijk one of the two churches of the Protestant Community in Raamsdonk-Raamsdonksveer. Since mid-2013, consultations have been taking place with the Reformed Community of Geertruidenberg to create one Protestant community in the municipality of Geertruidenberg. After a joint service in the Emmakerk, the intention to merge was confirmed on Sunday 2 February by signing a letter of intent. In 2020, the Emmakerk will be the central church of the Protestant Communities of Geertruidenberg, Raamsdonk and Raamsdonksveer, for weekly services. Only special church services are held in the historic Geertruidskerk in Geertruidenberg and Lambertuskerk in Raamsdonk.

The Motorway Chapel of Hegau (officially Emmauskapelle) is located in the service area of Hegau West near Engen on the Federal Highway 81 from Stuttgart to the south. Instead of the original, too expensive dome model by the Hungarian architect Imre Makovecz, the project by the Ravensburg architect Wolf R. Bürhaus was selected in an architectural competition. The complex consists of a high cross, an inner courtyard and a parallelepiped-shaped chapel. Access to the chapel is via a narrow inner passage.

Emmaus Monastery was founded in 1347 by the Czech king and Roman emperor Charles IV (1346-1378). It was destined to become the only Benedictine monastery in the Bohemian kingdom and in the whole of Slavic Europe. During World War II, the monastery was captured by the Gestapo and the monks were sent to the Dachau concentration camp. In February 1945, it was almost destroyed by the American bombing of Prague. The modern roof with its bell towers was added in 1960. The Gothic cloister has original faded frescoes with fragments of pagan symbolism from the 14th century.

The Emmaus Chapel is a modern "house chapel" from around 1990, in the middle of a new residential area from the same period.
