Heilige Jozef is a Roman Catholic church built in 1953 in Almelo. It was built in the style of the Delft School.

Modern hall church without tower from 1959-1960, built at the former mining colony of Egge in Brunssum-Oost.

Heilige Jozef (Church of St Joseph) was built in 1933. It was designed by Hendrik W. Valk (1886-1973). It is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

Destroyed by war in 1944.

Architecturally important, striking, interbellum church, built in two phases. Extension, with among other things saddle roof tower, built in 1938. The organ was moved from the gallery, at the bottom of the tower, to the choir of the church. On the left in the hall, at the bottom of the tower, is a beautiful small Marianis, with altar, accessible daily.

As of August 1, 2002, the St. Joseph parish, the OLVrouw Hemelvaart parish and the parish of the Blessed Sacrament were merged into one parish with the new name H. Antonius. Remarkable, because John the Baptist is the patron saint of Gouda. These three church buildings would remain, according to the reports at the time, and on Sunday, September 15, 2002, the first celebration of the new parish was held. But already in November 2002 it was announced that maintaining all three church buildings would be impossible for financial reasons. Which church would ultimately remain in use was not yet known at that time.

The neo-Gothic CHAPEL on the Roman Catholic cemetery behind the Roman Catholic church St. Joseph on the Hamersveldseweg was built in 1916 to a design by the architect H. Kroes. The chapel is situated at the end of the main axis in the south-eastern corner of the cemetery. The chapel has a floor plan in the shape of a Greek cross and has a basement. The roof, covered with slates in Maasdekking, consists of two intersecting saddle roofs with a roof turret at the intersection. A zinc finial has been placed on the four ridge ends. The facades are built of gray brick in cross bond. The four gables are flanked by a cut buttress that ends in a pinnacle. The pinnacles are provided with a crowning with a chevron-shaped ornament similar to that on the entrance gate to the cemetery. The front (west side) contains a large pointed arch opening with a frame in red brick. Above the opening is a medallion with a representation of the resurrection of Christ. Around the medallion and along the roof edge is a band of decorative brickwork in red brick. A partly natural stone pavement leads to the opening, closed off by a two-winged, rotating iron bar gate with a narrow, fixed fence on either side. The connecting posts of the gate are crowned with ornaments in Art Nouveau style. The central post is provided with a cross.
