Important, unique monumental neo-baroque church with dome. Replaced a nearby clandestine church. Restored after a fire in 1958. The interior has its current appearance since then.

Neo-Gothic church with cathedral allure, and with a high tower. The Sint-Vitus was consecrated in 1892. This neo-Gothic cruciform basilica was designed by PJH Cuypers. The tower is 98 metres high and is one of the 4 highest church towers in the Netherlands *. The church stands on the site of the former clandestine church from 1786. Important elements in the interior are the wooden vault, the stained glass windows and the colourful brick patterns in the masonry. The Van den Brink organ from 1859 and the painted Stations of the Cross are also valuable.

The Sint-Walburgakerk was built between 1864 - 1867 as a Roman Catholic parish in the former village of Amby. The neo-Gothic church is listed a municipal monument of the Netherlands.

Reconstruction church in traditional forms, with a small bell tower.

The current church replaced the older, neo-Gothic church from 1889. Consecrated in 1924. In the years 1989 to 2004 the church was restored; the roof surfaces, except for the tower, were provided with a new slate covering. The stained glass windows of the church, except for the tower, were completely restored. At the beginning of June 2004 the church was reopened with many festivities. (52-04) This church building, in terms of exterior, looks a lot like the (demolished in 1982) Roman Catholic Church St. Gerardus Majella in The Hague, designed by J. Stuyt,

The Roman Catholic Church, built on the western side of the Hoofdstraat in the centre of Liessel and dedicated to St. Willibrordus, was built between 1899 and 1901 and was designed by C. Franssen. It is a non-oriented Neo-Gothic cross basilica with an eastern tower. The church was consecrated on 30 April 1901. In 1944 the church was severely damaged by war. Shortly after the war, as a result of this damage, part of the masonry, vaults and roof, as well as the spire, were renewed under the architecture of SJP van der Sluijs (Eindhoven). The repairs were generally carried out in a neo-Gothic style.

St. Willibrordus, 1866-1873, Pierre Cuypers (1827 - 1921) . Three-aisled neo-Gothic hall church without transept. Pointed gables on the side aisle bays. Tower with two niches in each facade, frontals and four-sided spire. Articulated brick pillars with moulded capitals, cross-ribbed vaults. Polychrome interior with painted brick; furnishings and glazing from the construction period, from the Cuypers & Stolzenberg studio in Roermond. The windows in the nave partly come from the St. Martinus church in Foxham-Martenshoek, which closed in 1990. Early work from Cuypers' second period, influenced by the Westphalian hall church Gothic. Mechanical tower clock.

Iconic neo-Gothic church with a tower placed sideways, next to the choir. Around 1900, the church from 1772 became too small and it was decided to build a new church and parsonage. The architectural firm Cuypers/Stuyt was commissioned to do this. Father Cuypers was the builder of the Central Station and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Son Cuypers built the new St. Bavo Cathedral in Haarlem. The Holy Willibrord Church was therefore not built by just anyone. The church is a fine example of neo-Gothic church architecture from that period.

This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.
