In the standard work Kerkinterieurs in Nederland (Church Interiors in the Netherlands), Herman Wesselink calls the Antonius Abtkerk "one of the most remarkable churches from the interbellum. (...) The church interior (can) be considered a highlight of Dutch Roman Catholic ecclesiastical art from the twentieth century." (Antonius Abtkerk. Highlight of ecclesiastical mosaic art. In Kerkinterieurs in Nederland, pp. 316-319. Wbooks, 2016. The church was created under the influence of the innovative artist group De Violier. In this group, JE Brom, architect Joseph Cuypers (1861 - 1949) and A. Molkenboer (1872-1960) worked together, among others.
De Mortel, NL
In 1904, the Waterstaat church was demolished to make way for a new neo-Gothic church that had been built just north of the Waterstaat church. This church was designed by Caspar Franssen. It is a neo-Gothic cruciform basilica with a crossing tower and a high entrance tower with four sections. Its colourful neo-Gothic interior has been particularly well preserved. The church contains a Pieta by the Den Bosch artist Van de Ven, who died suddenly when it was installed. When swine fever broke out in 1997, a special mass was celebrated in this church, after which various pig farmers maintained a devotion to St. Anthony Abbot.

Loenen, NL
Interesting neoclassical church with historic tower. After the Reformation, the committee that was set up to prepare the construction of the Catholic church in Loenen received permission from King Willem II on 13 February 1846 to start construction. The king gave a subsidy of 6,000 guilders on condition that the church would be built by Waterstaat. The total cost of the church amounted to fl. 13,332.--. The Hackfort family (Kasteel ter Horst) donated a newly built parsonage as well as the land for the church, garden and cemetery, but on condition that they would have the first two pews of the new church at their disposal and that they would have the right to make their own family burial vault in the cemetery. The “Horsten benches” are still in the church. The coats of arms of the Hackfort family and the Van Wijnbergen family are on the doors.
