Heilige Lambertus

Neo-Gothic church. The tower was added separately in 1891 to prevent settlement. The tower was blown up by the Germans on 26 October 1944 and after the war it was only restored to the height of the nave and adorned with a saddle roof. The interior features beautiful brickwork that is polychromed here and there.

Heilige Nicolaas

Since the 12th century, there has been a religious community of Christians in Helvoirt. In the beginning, they met in a chapel (from 1192). This chapel was renovated several times and around 1375 a Romanesque church was built. Around 1510, after major renovations, this church was given its current Gothic form (The 'Old Church' on the Van Grevenbroeckstraat). With the Reformation, this church passed into the hands of the Reformed in 1648. The Roman Catholic community built another church around 1675, this time on the Dreef. This was a barn church with clay walls and a thatched roof. Later in 1724, this would be replaced by a new barn church, now with stone walls. In 1840, the Waterstaatskerk came into use for the parish. On 30 April 1901, the foundation stone was laid for the current neo-Gothic St. Nicholas Church, which was officially consecrated on 5 October 1903. The church was built under the architecture of architect JHH van Groenendael, and was placed on the list of the National Service for the Conservation of Monuments as a recognised national monument in 1974.

Protestantse Kerk / Nicolaaskerk

Since the 12th century, Helvoirt has had a religious community of Christians who meet in a chapel (from 1192), dependent on the church of Oisterwijk. This chapel has been renovated several times. Around 1300, the church was elevated to parish church and dedicated to Saint Nicholas. After renovations, a Romanesque church was built around 1375. Around 1510, this church was given its Gothic form after major renovations. In 1617, the church was reconsecrated, but after Staats-Brabant had become part of the Republic of the United Netherlands again through the reconquests (1635) from the Spanish of Prince Frederik Hendrik, the church came into the hands of the Dutch Reformed. Between 1710 and 1792, the tower was used as a town hall and aldermen's law was held there. During the Napoleonic period (in 1809), the church building was assigned to the Roman Catholics, but ultimately remained in the possession of the Protestants. In the years 1967-1969 the tower and the church were restored under the direction of the architectural firm J. de Wilde from Breda. The execution was carried out by the construction company Nico de Bont en Zonen from Nieuwkuijk. On 19 October 1969 the church was officially put back into use with an ecumenical service.
