Older church and monastery. Built in 1809 under temporary kingship of Louis Napoleon, hence the nickname "Louis' Church". Extension of the choir in 1871. Demolished in 1933 to make way for the construction of the current St. Martin's Church .
In 1841 a parish was founded and a church built. Since 1885 Sint Willebrord has been a place of pilgrimage. In that year a first Lourdes grotto was built. In 1925 a new church was built. The original design by pastor Bastiaansen, a representation of the Basilica of Lourdes, was elaborated by the architect Jacques (NJH) van Groenendael from Breda. In front of the church is a procession park.
Neo-Gothic church, further details to be checked.
Brick church in traditional forms with a tower. Built in 1939-1940 to a design by AW and BPJ Oomen from Oosterhout. Wide central nave with low and narrow side aisles and low transept arms. Organ, originating from an unknown monastery in Flanders, probably built around 1700 by Jacobus van Eynde. In 1909 placed in the then church of Schijf and restored in 1985 by Vermeulen (Weert). The church building replaced an older neo-Gothic church by Soffers.
