Heilige Willibrordus

Hall church on an almost rectangular plan, consisting of a partly exposed concrete skeleton, filled with brick. A detached, openwork bell tower and semi-detached baptismal chapel to the side. Front facade with simple narthex. The central nave is covered by a curved concrete shell roof. As a whole, the church is an important example of renewal, also a fairly exceptional early example of modernism in Roman Catholic church architecture from the 1950s. This church is listed as a Municipal Monument of the Netherlands.

Heilige Nicolaas

This church was a neo-Gothic cruciform church by father and son Van Groenendael, probably in collaboration with mgr. H. Wouters, director of the Episcopal College in Weert and a brother of the pastor in Meijel. The church thus obtained was called the 'cathedral of the Peel' because of its beauty and large size. Because the new church was built on the same site as the old one, the parish was dependent on an emergency church, which remained in use from 1901 until the blessing of the new building in 1904. The church was not yet fully furnished upon completion, a process that continued until 1944.

Protestant church

The Protestant Church in Helenaveen is a simple hall-shaped church building that shows elements of the Waterstaat style in its architecture. The building dates from 1867 and has survived the years virtually unchanged. In 1883, a large memorial stone was built into the front facade, on the occasion of the death of the preacher Swalue.

Heilig Hart van Jezus

In 1918 an emergency church was established, and a permanent church could only be built after the Second World War . It was consecrated in 1954 and the architect was A. Schwenke .
