The Roman Catholic Church "Maria ten Hemelopneming" was put into use in 1881. Since then, a few more ornaments had to be placed and a number of changes have taken place. In 1883, the Mother of God altar was placed and in 1887, the 14 stations, made by Eugène de Fernelmont from Den Bosch, were installed. In the period 1891-1906, the building was given a tiled floor, the windows of the nave were provided with stained glass windows, a confessional was added and twenty benches, still from the old church, were replaced by new ones. In 1925, the church was given electric lighting and in 1928, foot heating was installed. In 1934/35 a major restoration took place, during which the building was plastered on the inside, a new tiled floor was laid, stained glass windows were installed above the chancel and the Maria and Jozef altar, made by glass artist Joep Nicolas from Roermond and the stations were repainted in the same colour. In 1962 a new pulpit was installed and the Jozef altar was demolished to make room for about forty seats. During the restoration of 1967/68 the stained glass windows were placed in aluminium frames. In 1969 the chancel was raised, the pulpit was converted into two raised lecterns, the communion benches were placed to the left and right of the chancel and a new altar was placed on the chancel. During the demolition of the St. Martinus church in Groningen, the church came into possession of a beautiful confessional from this church. The organ built in 1819 that was transferred from the old church has been replaced by an electronic organ. In 1946, the parishioners donated two new bells from the Van Bergen company in Heiligerlee to the church, after the old ones had been removed in 1943. Despite these changes, the interior has retained sufficient qualities to qualify for protection.

This church is listed as a Municipal Monument of the Netherlands.

Roman Catholic brick dome church with tower and consistory designed in 1952 by Alphons M. Siebers (1893-1978) and Wilhelm M. van Dael (1912-1985). The architectural firm Van Zantbeek en Schoonis from Sas van Gent was responsible for the execution in the years 1953-1954. The church was built in a traditionalist style according to the principles of the Bossche School. It can be seen as Siebers' built argument in his discussion with JAC Tillema in the Katholiek Bouwblad in 1951-1952 about the values ​​of post-war (Catholic) church construction and the relationship between liturgy and architecture. Important artists made high-quality contributions in the form of stone and sculpture, bronze works and paintings. The church was built as a successor to the church that was partly destroyed on 20 September 1944, whereby the building site was moved slightly to the southwest and a row of houses was demolished for the sake of a better urban and visual connection to the Market. The painted Stations of the Cross from 1938 by the Ghent artist Alberic Ysabie - on which parishioners were also depicted - were taken from the predecessor. The church is known as the Holy Assumption of Mary.

Important neo-Gothic church with tower, the only crossing tower of WVA Tepe.

Simple church with tower. Built to replace the neo-Gothic Roman Catholic church in the hamlet of Oudenrijn (now "de Metaal Kathedraal") that had become too small. Simple version of the expressionist style of Dom Bellot / Delft School. The parish of Our Lady of the Assumption in Oudenrijn / De Meern first used a church on the Rijksstraatweg. Around 1937 plans were made to build a new, larger place of worship, and the Nijmegen architect Hendrik C. van de Leur was commissioned to do so. The church has a robust appearance, largely due to the large tower with an octagonal spire. The tower is in the middle of the front and is Romanesque in shape, with round-arched windows. The church has a basilica nave with lower transepts. The transept on the south side has a lower extension, which houses the sacristy. The end of this extension forms a chapel in the churchyard. Window shape often covered with a herringbone arch, characteristic of Bellot's style.

Interesting, large, modern church with detached tower, in which 3 bells. The 3 bells were transferred from the old church. In addition, there is a small bell from Schaft, cast in 1667 by François Delapaix. (This tower is very similar to that of the RK Kerk HH Harten in Eindhoven-Gestel, designed by the same architects). In the hall of this church is a model of the previous church.
