Roman Catholic Church. Tower, single-aisled nave and two transepts against the nave from the years 1649-'99. Choir and transept, 1914. Pulpit, approx. 1700, baptismal font 17th century, 8 paintings, four pairs of cast copper candlesticks (17th century). Gravestone of Frederik van Schaesberg, approx. 1733. In the churchyard a hardstone cross, on which a small Calvary and 'memento mori'; ten stone grave crosses, 1710-1811; some fragments of sculptures. Mechanical tower clock.

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.

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.

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 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.

Old Catholic Church of Sts. Peter and Paul. Church in neo-baroque style by PA Weeldenburg, 1908. Altar, communion bench, pulpit, baptismal font 18th century, as well as rich silverware, all from the clandestine church built in 1718 on the Delftsevaart.

Important reconstruction church, which replaced the predecessor destroyed in 1944. The current church from 1959 was designed by Hendrik W. Valk, in collaboration with FH Stoks. One of the last works from Valk's oeuvre, in traditionalist forms, on a so-called Christocentric floor plan. Asymmetrical front with two towers of different heights.

This (interesting) church has always been on Belgian territory. The Dutch in the Zeelandic Flemish Koewacht initially went to church in the Belgian Koewacht, from 1687 in a chapel, later in a new church that was consecrated in 1714. After the border was closed during the First World War, a Roman Catholic emergency church was built on the Dutch side of the border. This was replaced in 1922 by the definitive church of the HH Philippus en Jacobus, the church that is still in use today.

Protestant families in Lattrop and Breklenkamp were prepared to sign a petition from G. Rikkink and J. Groeneveld in 1816 to help the parishioners in Lattrop and Breklenkamp to their own church. In addition to the reasons already given by Bentinck about the distance to Ootmarsum and the large amount of water in the Dinkel in the winter, the unsuitability of the current location is now discussed in detail: “In the aforementioned farmhouse, which according to local custom contains the home of the householders and the stable for the cattle without a partition or dividing wall, and therefore directly with and in the presence of horses and cows to attend the Holy Mass and sermon”. According to tradition, three locations are eligible for these special clandestine churches: 1. A barn on the Bodde farm on the Bergvennenweg. 2. The barn on the former Pikkemaat farm on the Frensdorferweg. 3. On the Scholte Lubberink estate on Dorpsstraat. Coach house with wall of former peat storage at church in Lattrop

Reconstruction church with tower. On the site of the previous church.
