Built in 1882 to a design by architect MC van Wijngaarden in neo-Romanesque style. The patron saints of the parish are Saint Michael and John the Baptist. The baroque altar and other church materials date from the seventeenth century, when services were held in a clandestine church on the Markt.

The neo-Gothic church of Saints Monulphus en Gondulphus was built according to a design by architects Frits Peutz (known for his modernist work) and Willem Sprenger. The saints Gondulphus and Monulphus, to whom the church is dedicated, were two bishops of Maastricht in the 6th century. The cemetery contains a monumental mortuary, where the deceased used to be laid out.

Marlstone church. In 1139, the old church of Berg was first mentioned as the property of the chapter of Saint Servatius in Maastricht. In 1770, the nave was built as a hall church against the old marlstone tower. In 1826, the choir was built to a design by Mathias Soiron. A sacristy was also built. In 1848, the western nave bay and the tower were built. The choir was also raised and provided with a new apse. Furthermore, the sacristy was expanded to the east. The old church was situated near the Oude Kerkstraat and in 1955, when the building was demolished, it consisted of a single-nave nave, a largely built-in church tower with an octagonal spire and a slimmer choir. In 1933, a new church building was built elsewhere in the village to a design by Frits Peutz and Willem Sprenger, the current Monulphus and Gondulphus Church.

Beautiful barn church, enlarged 1633, renovated 1826. Richly detailed interior. Dedicated to Saint Nicholas. In the late 1970s, the Old Catholic Parish of St. Nicholas merged with the Old Catholic Parish of St. Mary Magdalene in Zaandam. Since then, this parish has been called "St. Nicholas and St. Mary Magdalene". Regular church services take place in Krommenie. Occasionally, an Old Catholic service still takes place in Zaandam.

The church building has a somewhat dark interior, but that effect is partly taken away by the painting in the choir wall (apsis). What is special is that various liturgical objects in the interior were made of molten copper from the church on the Noordstraat that was destroyed in 1940. Worth seeing is the chapel with the painting of Our Lady of the Polder. This has to do with the veneration of Our Lady in Vrouwenpolder. The painting is said to have been created in a miraculous way. Around 1340, a resident of Vrouwenpolder wanted a painting of Mary to be hung in the church of his village. The painter who was given the assignment failed. Then an unknown man came along who painted the desired canvas and then disappeared without a trace. People saw the hand of God in this.

The church of SS Peter and Paul in Aarlanderveen is a Neo-Gothic church with a high tower built in 1897 according to the designs of Joseph Cuypers (1861 - 1949). It is listed as a Municipal Monument.

Roman Catholic parish church of St. Peter and Paul, built around 1880 to a design by Evert Margry (1841 - 1891) (pupil of Pierre Cuypers (1827 - 1921)), in collaboration with (presumably) his brother AAJ Margry and JM Snickers, to replace a predecessor that had become too small. Three-aisled cruciform basilica in the characteristic and recurring style of the Margrys, inspired by early French Gothic, but in this case entirely in neo-Romanesque, round-arched shapes. Asymmetrical front with tower on the right corner, on the waterfront (see images below), simple staircase tower on the other corner. Internally covered by wooden barrel vaults (main naves). Stone cross vaults over the side aisles. The design shows many similarities with that of the H. Hartkerk in Rotterdam from the same period, also designed by Evert Margry (1841 - 1891), also neo-Romanesque, which was destroyed in the bombing of 1940 (the most important neo-Romanesque church by Evert Margry (1841 - 1891), however, was the St. Monicakerk in Utrecht, which was demolished in 1977).

Roman Catholic parish church of St. Peter and Paul in Reeuwijk (Dorp), built in 1889. Single-nave cruciform church with west tower in neo-Gothic style. Characteristic work in the oeuvre of the Rotterdam office Margry & Snickers, influenced by early French Gothic.

This church building replaced the Andreaskerk and the Petrus & Pauluskerk . The first pile for the new parish church of the HH Andreas, Petrus and Paulus was driven on 21 September 2004. The church replaced two other Roman Catholic church buildings in Maassluis.
