St. Stephanus. Iconic, non-oriented church, 1887-1888 by N. Molenaar. Three-aisled neo-Gothic HALL CHURCH with transept and five-sided closed choir, based on Westphalian Gothic. The high tower was added in 1894. Window triplets in the end gables of the transept and in the west gable. Tower to the left of the front gable on the first side aisle bay. The church was extensively modernised internally in 1967, during which the original floors and parts of the inventory were lost; the polychromy was painted over. A new restoration followed in 1987-1988 under the direction of A. Meerstadt. The church interior is covered by cross-ribbed vaults. The inventory largely dates from the construction period. The statues come from the studios of FW Mengelberg and JP Maas. The main altar, the side altar, the triumphal cross and the pulpit were made by Te Poel & Stoltefus. The stained glass windows were made in the workshop of the firm Nicolas & Zoon. In the roof turret a clock by Petit and Fritsen, 1888, diam. 43.7 cm. Mechanical tower clock JF Weule Bockenem, 1894, out of use.

Neo-Gothic hall church by G. te Riele, enlarged in 1920 in traditionalist style by architect Kropholler: Nave extended and new tower on the north side of the front, new chancel. Striking buttress on the outside, accentuates where in the interior the chancel is located. Parts of the original church are still recognizable as such in the exterior.

Neo-Gothic church with tower with constricted spire, designed by Wolter te Riele (1867 - 1937), consecrated in 1903. The raised fourth bay of the pseudo-basilica nave is treated as a transept without gables, the choir is closed on three sides. Internally plastered net vaults.

Neo-Romanesque church with large tower placed on the side. Characteristic Boosten church. The medieval chapel (later church) of Dieteren was first mentioned at the beginning of the 16th century. It stood at the cemetery, on the current northern exit road, towards Echt. This church was demolished at the beginning of the forties of the 1800s. In 1835, Dieteren was separated from the mother parish of Susteren and elevated to an independent parish. That is why a new, larger church was built on the same site around 1845, in a transitional style between classicism and neo-Gothic. Due to its dilapidated state, a new neo-Romanesque church was built in the centre of the village from 1938 to 1940, designed by architect Alphons Boosten from Maastricht. The main entrance is on Kerkstraat and the nave is separated from Vleutstraat by a narrow garden, which is used as a fairground on public holidays. In 1940 the new church was consecrated by the bishop, after which the church from 1845 was demolished.
