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.

Interesting reconstruction church with tower. Replaced an earlier neo-Gothic church from 1894 designed by Alfred Tepe, of which the rectory remains. After the closure of the St. Laurentius church in Bilthoven, this is the central church of De Bilt and the south of Bilthoven. (Further on in the north of Bilthoven is the OL Vrouw van Ooitdurende Bijstandkerk ).

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.

Historic village church with tower. Originally dedicated to Mary (Our Lady) and St. Anthony.

The second architect was H. Teeken (1900-1950): 'a sober technical and conscientious counterpart of the artist Frits Peutz'. The church would become the new main church of the Eastern Mining Region with a thousand seats. The church is centrally located in the Bekkerveld district, on the edge of a grass field of the same name.

The oldest part of the church probably dates from the 13th century. The first mention dates from 1214. Excavations have shown that there was a rectangular church of 12 by 6 meters. At the beginning of the 13th century, construction of the 47 meter high tower was started and in the 15th century the chancel was built against the hall church. A small chapel was built on the south side for the lords of Ooijen. In 1535 the nave was rebuilt and enlarged. Over the centuries the church was restored several times, including in 1684, 1880-1884, 1920-1930. In 1929 a sacristy was built on the south side of the chancel. The former sacristy became a children's chapel. In 1913 a new organ was installed and in 1914 a pulpit and three new altars. At the time, the church contained beautiful murals, statues and a magnificent Stations of the Cross. On 23 November 1944, the church was blown up by retreating German soldiers and completely destroyed. The historic murals disappeared with the collapsed walls. In addition to the church, the entire church inventory, with the exception of the rich treasure of art objects, was lost.

H. Name of Jesus, 1890-1892, Ch. Weber. Crucifix basilica with large, octagonal dome tower at the crossing, surrounded by square corner towers, of which the two eastern ones each had an octagonal superstructure, which has been demolished. Characteristic example of the Romanesque-Gothic style of Weber's last period, inspired by the Roermond Munsterkerk. Alternating system of pillars and columns, dome vaults with eight ribs on pendentives. Bell by Willem and Jaspers Moer from 1509. In 1985, the two eastern towers were provided with new sections designed by J. de Jong, but considerably lower than the previous towers, in the same style as the church.

Traditionally, the parish of Odijk belonged to the archdeaconry of Oudmunster. In Odijk there were grounds, 'a court' which were successively in the hands of the German emperors (end of the 10th century), the archbishop of Cologne (until 1019), the Benedictine abbey of Deutz (until 1256) and finally of the count of Gelre. The oldest church building of Odijk, a chapel, probably stood within this court. This was probably a 'daughter' of the church of Werkhoven. In the 12th century, a Romanesque cruciform church with tower was built in Odijk. This church was probably dedicated to St. Heribert. In the sixteenth century, around 1547, the choir of this church was replaced by a late Gothic choir. In the 19th century, the tower, the transept and the nave were demolished. What remained, the choir, is the current Dutch Reformed Church (the 'white church'). During the Reformation, Odijk initially remained Roman Catholic. From 1564, Evert Aelbertsz. was pastor in Odijk and around 1593 he baptized Protestants and Catholics, depending on the denomination of the parents. After the death of this last Catholic pastor, the people of Odijk went to church in Bunnik (Rhinauwen castle), Blikkenburg castle south of Zeist and also to Rijsenburg castle. In 1718, a new church was built in the hamlet of Schoudermantel near Bunnik. This church became the heart of the Bunnik station, which also included Odijk.

Single-nave church with neoclassical, stately façade, turret and bollards, early 19th century. Neo-Romanesque transept and choir from 1894. In the choir of the church a bell by Melchior de Haze, 1686, diam. 39.2 cm. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.
