Roman Catholic church and rectory, built in 1933/1934 to a design by the architect Jac. Hurks in Roosendaal. The foundation stone was laid on 16 July 1933. The architecture of the church is expressionistic, but tends towards the interbellum style. The church is said to have been designed on the metre of a triangle according to the golden ratio, visible in the triangular front of the church. The shape of the crossing tower is derived from Frisian, North German and Danish church architecture (with saddle roof), a traditional element that does not fit well with the experimental design based on geometric shapes.

Built as a Roman Catholic church. Interesting, sober reconstruction church in neo-Romanesque forms, with a small roof turret. Until 1998 also in use as a Dutch Reformed and Reformed Church.

Village church with tower in the village of Effen.

Small but important reconstruction church without tower, in Bossche School style, in Noordwijk aan Zee. Extension 1965. In the Roman Catholic church of Maria ter Zee, no services were held temporarily in 2011. The church, and especially the interior, were extensively renovated. There was a grand reopening party on Sunday 27 November 2011. Also in use as an exhibition space, especially in the summer months. Designated a municipal monument in approximately 2017.

The first stone was laid on 12 June 1956 by Mgr. PA Nierman. On 30 April 1957 the solemn consecration of the church took place.

In 1360, a church in Bennekom is mentioned for the first time. A foundation deed of an Anthoniusvicarie from 1510 shows that the church was dedicated to St. Alexander. During the Reformation, the church passed into Protestant hands. A small number of Roman Catholics remained faithful to their faith and services were held in secret in Grunsfoort Castle near Renkum.

Putten only got its own parish church (again) in 1939; the first since the Reformation. Previously, the small Roman Catholic population of Putten had to rely on a nearby monastery chapel from 1858.
