Dutch Reformed Church. Founded in 1792 by Jonkvrouw van Doorn, Lady of Drimmelen (commemorated in a stone above the entrance, with coat of arms), to replace the church in Oud-Drimmelen. Hall church, closed on three sides at the short ends; arched windows; high slate roof with roof turret. Internal wooden wall pilasters and wooden barrel vault with two rosettes with mermaids. Adjoining parsonage from the time of construction. Iron entrance gate between two bluestone pillars also from the time of construction. 18th century copper lecterns and baptismal font holder. Restored in 1965.

Single-nave in construction from the 13th century with a straight choir closure, in which two round-arched windows and parts of recessed panels of the top. In the side walls, there are traces of round-arched windows, entrances and a hagioscope. Strong uncut tower with high spire. In the church pulpit from 1718 with screwed columns and a sounding board. Communion table. Five gentlemen's pews, one with spindle friezes three others with knobs and richly carved rear panels, an 18th-century pew. Three 17th-century tombstones. In the tower bell from 1774. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands. On 8 November 2002, the restoration of the Dutch Reformed Church began. On Friday 16 January 2004, the church, which dates from 1280, was put back into use. It is striking that the vaults, reminiscent of the Catholic era, have been reinstalled. The gentlemen's pews, which were moved back during the 1978 restoration, are also back in their old place. Furthermore, moisture-resistant measures have been taken. The last service before the restoration was on 17 November 2002. During the restoration, church services were held in the De Wegwijzer community centre.

Reformed church.

Three-aisled pseudo-basilica with five-sided closed choir from the 15th century with a tower of which the lower four sections are still 12th century. Internal wooden barrel vaults.

The reformed church of Belt-Schutsloot is nearing completion of a thorough renovation. Anyone who comes to view the church during the new opening on 2 February will see that the church building dating from 1925 in the reed village of Belt-Schutsloot has undergone a complete metamorphosis over the past six months. The old pews are gone, the pulpit disappeared into the container, a new consistory and an extension were built. The Beltigers, religious and non-religious, have worked together to make it happen. Marinus Lok, a retired shipwright, made a new pulpit and chairs replaced the old pews. On Sunday 2 February, churchgoers will once again face their Creator in a brand new church. The house of worship has undergone a renovation costing over 300,000 euros. The paving work began last April and in June construction workers and volunteers entered the building. The dated colours and old-fashioned furnishings made way for a fresh complexion. The churchgoers could follow the church services in the neighbouring village hall.
