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.

Neoclassical facade with tower, 1852-1853, for modern church building. In the church a neo-baroque pulpit, an altar and chandeliers from the previous Waterstaatskerk. Mechanical tower clock, 1903, J. van de Kerkhof and Sons, in 1972 provided with electric winding. Is not in use.

The Roman Catholic HH Petrus en Pauluskerk from 1924 replaced a church by architect Th. Asseler from 1867 that had become too small. It is a large church without a tower, in late neo-Gothic forms, designed by the Bergen architect Jan Leijen (1876-1958). At the crossing there is a small roof turret; semi-circular apse on the south side (the church is not oriented). To the right of the front facade is the parsonage, which is a remnant of the previous church from 1867. The spacious cruciform basilica was designed according to the guidelines of the Liturgical Movement from the early 20th century, in which all believers find a place in the wide central nave. The interior, executed as fair-faced masonry, is covered by rib vaults. Architecturally, there is a slight relationship, both externally and internally, with the church buildings of Joseph Cuypers from the 1920s. The seven stained-glass choir windows date from the construction period and represent the Seven Sacraments. They were made by Lou Asperslagh (1893-1949) from The Hague. The Stations of the Cross (1944) and a mural "The Miracle of Bergen" (1949) were made by the Bergen artist Jaap Min (1914-1987). The original main altar from the Haarlem studio Maas (ca. 1910) was initially in the previous church and was replaced in 1974 by a forward-placed altar table by the aforementioned Jaap Min. The organ by the Pels company (Alkmaar) dates from 1932.

The Sint-Petrus-en-Pauluskerk is the Roman Catholic parish church in the neighbourhood of Wolder, Maastricht. The current building was completed at the end of the 19th century and consecrated in 1898. During the Second World War, the church bell was removed by the Germans and melted down for the benefit of the German war industry. The building was restored for the last time in 1996. It is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

The church, rectory and study form a whole and were designed by Johan WF Hartkamp jr. , a pupil of Hendrik Petrus Berlage . The church complex was completed in 1914 as a continuation of the clandestine church 'De Ooievaar' on the Barndesteeg .

Important reconstruction church. This church replaced the church from 1913 that was badly damaged in the Second World War . Three-aisled basilica church with a wide central nave, narrow side aisles, narrowed and lowered choir section, and a front tower covered by a saddle roof. Built in traditionalist forms under the influence of Romanesque architecture.

Three-aisled neo-Gothic pseudo-basilica without transept and tower, built under slight influence of the late Lower Rhine and Westphalian Gothic. Facade flanked by two low stair towers, simple roof turret above the choir. Plastered interior, provided with cross-ribbed vaults. During the liturgical renovations in the 1960s, the interior was simplified, whereby the neo-Gothic altars disappeared. The glazing is still intact. Behind the choir, modern extension De Borgh.

The church of SS Peter and Paul dates from 1861 and is listed as a Municipal Monument of the Netherlands.

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).
