In 1448 a chapel was built on this site. In 1850 it was expanded with a side aisle on the south side. This side aisle was demolished again in 1970-1973, during the restoration. As a result, the church regained its original form. For the construction of the chapel at that time, a certain Jacob Muerling, who had many possessions in Oldemarkt, made a considerable effort by donating lands to the church. The parish church was at that time in Paaslo. In 1489, the parish church was transferred to Oldemarkt. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

In 1678 rebuilt church from old material; framed entrance on the north side with stone inscription concerning the construction.

The 13th century clock has been transferred to the Friesch Museum in Leeuwarden. Mechanical wrought iron tower clock, has been decommissioned.

In 1296, a parish in Sint Kruis was first mentioned, which was subordinate to the Ter Doest Abbey. Due to flooding, partly as a result of the Geuzen breaching the dikes in 1584 to stop the Spanish troops, the area was flooded and was not drained again until 1651. The current church building dates largely from the 14th century and initially consisted of a single-nave church with a tower. In 1467 and 1483, the church was enlarged to a three-nave church with a choir and transept. This church was badly damaged during the Dutch Revolt, but in 1652 it was restored to serve as a Reformed church building. What remained was a single-nave church with a straight-ended nave and the tower. Another renovation took place in 1872. In 1944, the church was badly damaged by war violence and was restored in 1948-1949.

The Trudokerk was founded in 1100 under the authority of the Abbey of Sint Truiden (Belgium). It is the oldest church in the region of Land van Heusden en Altena.

The Catholic Parish Church of St. Peter in Mönchengladbach, Germany, underwent a transformation into publicly funded apartments. Designed by Josef Kleesattel, the neogothic church retained its monumental character while accommodating a socially diverse community with affordable rents.

The Sacred Heart Church is a Catholic church that was built between 1897 and 1898 by the architect Christoph Hehl. At the end of the 19th century, the urban expansion of Berlin necessitated the construction of new places of worship. As the future district of Prenzlauer Berg was not very dense, the only notable pre-existing buildings were windmills and inns. One of these inns was purchased in 1890 by the parish of St. Hedwig to build a chapel, together with the adjacent presbytery and a Catholic school.

Herz-Jesu-Kirche was built in the years 1997 to 2000 according to the plans of the Munich Allmann Sattler Wappner architectural office. The modern building is located on an old church, burned down in 1994, itself a replacement for a church destroyed during the Second World War. Herz-Jesu-Kirche is one of the most visited churches in Munich.
