On the eastern side of the Nieuwstraat lies the Roman Catholic church of Saint Michael; built in 1929-1931 to a design by the architect HW Valk in a mixture of expressionist, traditional craftsmanship and Gothic-inspired forms. The contractor was J. Gerats from Blerick. On 20 April 1931, the church was consecrated by Mgr. AF Diepen, the bishop of 's-Hertogenbosch. In 1934, part of the tower vault collapsed; this was restored in the following years. The church was built to replace the old Waterstaatskerk on the Petrus-Dondersplein, dating from 1839 and demolished in 1932.

St. Michael's Church. Single-nave church, built in 1659-1668 with a three-sided closed choir, roof turret and a strikingly richly decorated facade with volutes and pediment. The design is possibly by Father Hieronymus Mauritius from Brussels. Initially used as a monastery church by the Dominican Fathers. In the late 17th century, the sacristy was built against the choir closure with the library above it.

Modern small church hall. Replaced the monumental church that was demolished in 2007. which had become too large. On Sunday 29 November 2009, Bishop Van den Hende consecrated the new St. Michael's Church on the Hooghout in Breda. The consecration of the church is the highlight of a whole week of activities in and around the church. From the time of the consecration of the church, the parish of Breda-Oost will call itself the Michael's Parish. The parish of Breda-Oost decided to build a new church in 2001. The result of a careful process is a new, modern Catholic church, which aims to have a social function in the neighbourhood and is built in a complex with homes and the neighbourhood library.

Completely according to plan, the current H. Michaëlkerk (800 seats) is consecrated on 23 October 1956 by the first bishop of Groningen, Mgr. PA Nierman. At Pentecost 1955, work began on the large church building designed by architect P. Starmans. The style is mixed: it has the features of a basilica, but also large round Romanesque vaults that give the church a monumental appearance. The 40-metre-high tower will house three bells, Michael, Peter and Mary respectively. The building is 48 metres long, 20 metres wide and 16 metres high and has 800 seats. The Utrecht goldsmith's shop Van Brom provides the church with a contemporary, sleek set of tabernacle, altar cross and candlesticks. On 23 October 1956, the new bishop of Groningen, Mgr. P. Nierman, solemnly inaugurated the church building. The parish of Vollenhove is donating the panel with the image of the Holy Archangel Michael to the new church, which came from the original Michael Church in the disappeared village of Emmeloord on the island of Schokland.

The St. Michael's Church is a Roman Catholic Parish in the former village of Heugem aan de Maas, near Maastricht. It was built in several periods which has resulted in its mix of Baroque, neo-Romanesque and Modern architectural styles.

In 1852-1853, a new church was built in Oostelbeers opposite the rectory, designed by P. Boots, a so-called Waterstaatskerk. A barn church was used until 1853.

In 1893, a tower was built against the church, designed by Caspar Franssen.
