Roman Catholic Church of St. James the Greater built in 1875-1878 to a design by Pierre Cuypers (1827 - 1921) in neo-Gothic style; wrought iron gate with ornamental lanterns on Parkstraat.

This was a very important modern church, with the tower and main entrance on the Heemstedestraat.

Non-oriented colossal neo-Gothic hall church with high tower in Noordwijk-Binnen. Built in two phases. The first phase was designed by architect N. Molenaar, the second by his son. In 1892 this church was granted the status of pilgrimage church. Behind the water board church from 1834, the transept and choir of the neo-Gothic church were built in 1894. When further expansion was necessary, the old water board church was demolished. In 1925-1926 the church was completed with the construction of the nave, front facade, tower and parsonage, designed by Nicolaas Molenaar Jr. (1892-1973). At the top of the facade is a statue of the patron saint of the church, Saint Jeroen. The falcon on his arm is said to indicate his noble origins. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

Large, important neo-Gothic church with tower. In 1894, De Moer became an independent parish. Before that, the area belonged to the parish of Loon op Zand. When the parish was founded, a temporary wooden church was placed that had been taken over from Dussen. In 1902, this was replaced by the current church, designed by CF van Hoof from Tilburg. The consecration by pastor AHF Kamp took place on 2 February 1902, after which it was consecrated on 6 June 1903 by W. van der Ven, bishop of 's-Hertogenbosch. The pastor had a brother, Joachim, who had been a chaplain and had died at a young age. Out of love for him, and in his memory, the pastor chose St. Joachim as the patron saint of his newly founded parish. At the initiative of pastor Kamp, a veneration of St. Anna (feast day 16 July) was created. After his death in 1939, this quickly declined. In the fifties of the previous century the last pilgrims came to visit the place. Behind the church is the cemetery where pastor Kamp, who died on September 22, 1939, is also buried.

The St. John the Baptist Church is the Roman Catholic parish church of Langedijk, in North Holland. The church has been in use since 1906. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

The Bosco Church is a modern church building in Maastricht built in the 1950s. The church was withdrawn from Catholic worship in 2017. The Maastricht Baptist Community briefly used it as a meeting place. The building is now pending a decision on its future use.

Very important, large, late neo-Gothic church with double tower front and high roof turret. Main work by architect CF van Hoof. Replaced the predecessor of this church . In the late Middle Ages, churches were held in Loon op Zand and Sprang, until the church of Sprang came into Protestant hands in 1609. The Catholics of Kaatsheuvel could now go to church in a farm, on the spot where the Nieuwe Markt is now. It was not until 1736 that Catholics were allowed to build churches again, but with restrictions. This is how the barn churches came into being. The barn church of Kaatsheuvel stood on the spot where the parish centre is now. The parish in Kaatsheuvel was founded in 1796 by separating from the old parish of Loon op Zand. Ultimately, the first stone church was not built until 1835: the Waterstaatskerk, see there. In 1911, pastor Volker suggested plans for new construction. The new church was built next to the Waterstaatskerk and consecrated on July 5, 1913.

Exceptionally important church in neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic styles, with tower. Built to replace an earlier church , the medieval tower of which still remains elsewhere in the village. Crucifix church on a strongly centralised plan, with an apse on the choir side. Tower to the left of the front facade, covered by a tent roof. The design is in line with the wishes of the Liturgical Movement (so-called people's church) of the early twentieth century: enlarged crossing in the form of an irregular octagon. Largely wooden vaulting of the interior; the vault over the crossing contains a fanlight. The late nineteenth-century inventory (including the main altar) probably comes from the previous church. Partly because this is one of the last remaining churches designed by architect J. van der Valk, this church has an extra rarity value. The only other church by this architect that still exists and is in use as a church is the OL Vrouw Moeder van Goede Raad in Tilburg-Broekhoven; two others have been demolished, and one is out of use; the 2 demolished churches are the H. Sacrament in 's-Hertogenbosch and the St. Joseph in Eindhoven-Tongelre; the St. Bernadette in Rosmalen-Maliskamp is out of use.
