Heilige Martinus

The current Roman Catholic St. Martin's Church was built in 1936-1937 to a design by architect Stefan Dings. The church replaced an older water board church from 1838, which in turn replaced an old Romanesque church. Initially, there were other plans in 1930, and Dings would not become the architect of the new church. In the early 1930s, it was realized that the water board church from 1838 needed to be replaced. The local architect Reijnders made a design for a new church. It would be a round domed church with a high bell tower next to it. This design looked a bit like the St. Egbertus Church in Almelo) . The pastor was happy with the design. Unfortunately, the pastor passed away. And his successor did not agree with Reijnders' design at all. The new pastor again chose Stefan Dings as architect and had him make a new design. And that became the new church of Horn. Reijnders' actual design drawings were on display at the exhibition of the Horn Local History Association in September 2008.

Heilige Martinus

The Stefanuskerk in Zoelen, named after the first martyr, was built in the 15th century. The nave of the church is built in the Lower Rhine style of brick. The walls were plastered white. Here and there bears support the walls of the church. Brick was also used for the construction of the tower. The tower walls were then covered with tuff. The 36-metre high tower rises high above the landscape. The bell that now hangs in the tower was cast in 1950. It bears the inscription "I mourn the dead and call the living to their God". This bell replaces the bell from 1924, which was removed by the Germans in 1943. The pulpit was made in 1641. The pulpit Bible dates from 1657. A funeral board from 1603 hangs in the church. During restoration work, graves of the Vijgh and Pieck families were found. These families lived in Zoelen Castle in the 17th and 18th centuries respectively. The organ was built in 1895 by the organ building family Van Dam.
