Cathedral of the Diocese of Rotterdam from the beginning of 1967. This Diocese was founded in 1956 as a "split-off" from the Diocese of Haarlem. Since then, the Diocese of Rotterdam has covered the province of South Holland.

Built as a Roman Catholic parish church of St. Joseph. This is an exceptionally important church building, particularly because of the unique, high, slender, hexagonal tower (76 m; according to various sources 78 m). Also a beautiful neo-Gothic church in terms of interior. Five-sided closed chapel on the west side of the chancel. Rectangular chapel against the side aisle on the east side of the chancel. Hexagonal tower next to the front facade, crowned by an openwork iron spire. The tower is popularly nicknamed "drunkemanstoren", because at least two clock faces are visible from each side. Since 1970, this church has officially been the cathedral of the Diocese of Groningen-Leeuwarden, which was (re)established in 1956. In 1970, the St. Martinuskathedraal was closed (and demolished in 1982).

The original church of Saint Sebastian was constructed in 1016, with various additions thereafter. The church's modern form took place after renovations in 1953 and 1959. It sustained damage during a fire in the 14th and 15th centuries, and during the thirty-years war.

Built as a single-nave hall church without a tower in an expressionist style, influenced by the Amsterdam School. The Catholic Apostolic Church is a chiliastic church community, founded as a result of an ecumenical prayer movement in Great Britain, which had been led by apostles since 1832. The last apostle, Francis Valentine Woodhouse, died on 3 February 1901. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Catholic Apostolic Church had approximately 200,000 members in almost 1000 congregations worldwide, with 17 congregations in the Netherlands. Today, the Netherlands still has approximately 700 members, divided over 5 congregations in The Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Amersfoort and Scheemda. All 5 church buildings are architecturally interesting, some have neo-Gothic facades. Since 1901, several of the 17 municipalities mentioned at the time have also been abolished, and the associated church buildings have been demolished or repurposed. A fine example of repurposing is the neo-Gothic church building in Arnhem on Parkstraat, now a funeral home.
