The Roman Catholic Church of St. John the Baptist in Nieuw Vossemeer is a three-aisled Neo-Gothic cruciform basilica with tower and roof turret designed by CP van Genk, probably built in collaboration with PJ van Genk in 1873. The church was expanded in 1929 and restored from flood damage in 1955-1956.

After the Roman Catholic church was plundered by the Watergeuzen in 1572, a separate church was built here in 1573. The current church was built in 1862-1863.

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.
