Neo-Gothic building with turret. Out of use as Dutch Reformed Chapel in 1924, since then Evangelical Lutheran Church (ELK). This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands. The church was put up for sale in 2021 despite protests.

Former chapel St.Joris Gasthuis (15th century). From 1996 to 2003 the Evangelical Church "Het Levend Water" used this church. This Evangelical Church "Het Levend Water" has used (had used) two other locations since then.

Important "hidden church" without a tower. The Reformation began in 1517 with the nailing of Luther's theses to the door of the castle church of Wittenberg, but it was not until around 1566 that a Lutheran community was established in Breda. The community consisted largely of people of German descent. For a long time, they had a hidden church on the Nieuwstraat. In 1777, the community bought a house on the Veemarktstraat, called 'Repos Ailleurs'. It was a large house with a forecourt. In 1786, the Lutheran church was consecrated in the renovated mansion. Two houses had been built on the forecourt so that the house could only be reached through a gate from the Veemarktstraat. It is the only still functioning hidden church in Breda. In 1838, the church was thoroughly renovated. The pointed arch windows that are visible from the inner courtyard were also installed then. The church was restored in 1966-1967.

Late 18th century church, rebuilt after destruction by war in 1944. The Lutheran community and the Reformed Church of Heusden form a Protestant community as of 1 January 2010. Church services are now held alternately in the Lutheran church on Putterstraat and in the Reformed Church on Gasthuisstraat. No decisions have yet been taken about selling off one of the church buildings. And the Reformed Church, of Reformed Bond signature, does not (yet?) appear to be participating in the PKN.

Restored Evangelical Lutheran Church. Simple hall church originally old catholic, rebuilt in 1842, accessible via a gate in the house Langendijk 70-74. In the gate beautiful lantern with neo-gothic motifs. Two-manual organ, made in 1859 by Kam and Van der Meulen using some pipework by JD Nolting from 1809.

The Baroque castle chapel in the Schloss Weesenstein received its solemn consecration on June 23, 1741 as a private chapel of the king of Saxony. In 1870, King John of Saxony handed the chapel to the citizens: he had himself set up a small Catholic chapel in the former washhouse.

The building was designed by F. Corten and construction began in 1976.

Built in 1966 as a church of the Free Baptist Church Bethel. Expansion in 1991. Due to the great growth of this community, this church soon became too small again.

Modern church.
