Extremely important reconstruction church without a tower.

Modern church with roof turret. Replaced a temporary building.

Extremely important, beautiful modern church with a small tower placed on the side. Relatively inconspicuous exterior. But especially in terms of interior this is an extremely interesting, beautiful modern church. Since the end of 2007, the St. Pauluskerk has also been in use by the Polish Roman Catholic parish of Amsterdam, which moved here from the Roman Catholic Church of St. Pius X, which was closed at the end of 2007 and demolished in the spring of 2008.

Nice modern church with metal bell tower. Replaced a temporary building on the Bermweg. On 21 February 1960, the new parish of St. Paulus' Bekering was founded in Capelle aan den IJssel. On Sunday 5 March 1967, the first stone was laid. Parishioners could, for a fee, lay a stone in the new church. The nice thing is that the stones actually ended up in the designated places and were not removed by the builders. The new church on the Merellaan was completed at the end of 1967. The architect is DORIGO.

On the foundations of the predecessor of this church, which was destroyed in 1944, a church was rebuilt. The tower was rebuilt in 1955. At the entrance is a memorial stone, embedded above the old memorial stone with an inscription that translates as: 'A faith that remained unshaken has restored what was sadly lost by the violence of a cruel war'.

St. Peter. Consecrated 1889, PJ van Genk. Crucifix basilica with two towers in the early Gothic style characteristic of Van Genk.

Built as an auxiliary church for the Roman Catholic parish in the Hoeksche Waard (the old parish church is in Oud-Beijerland). Sober modern hall church without a tower.

Interesting modern church with a detached, iconic tower.

Imposing, robust, monumental church with a high tower (70 m, the highest church tower in Leiden). The church, as well as the directly surrounding district, with which it forms a single urban development entity, was designed by AJ Kropholler and H. van Oerle. The whole was completed in 1936. The church is the successor to the St. Petruskerk in the city centre, located near the Steenschuur. That neoclassical church was destroyed by fire in 1933. The tower of the current St. Petruskerk is also the highest tower, built to a design by architect Kropholler.
