Charming neo-Romanesque church with double tower front. In 1905 the older church from 1840 was demolished and the new one built. This church served as an example for the St. Gertrudiskerk in Maarheeze.

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

In 1648, the practice of the Catholic religion was prohibited and the old church came into the possession of the Reformed. The parishioners first moved to the chapel of IJpelaar Castle. From 1683, a barn church was used. In 1809, the badly dilapidated old church of Bavel was returned to the Roman Catholics. After the Catholic hierarchy was restored in the Netherlands in 1853 and there were dioceses with bishops again, the existing parish of Bavel was confirmed in 1855 by the Breda bishop Mgr. Van Hooydonk. The old parish boundaries were practically maintained. In addition to Saint Brigida, the parish now had Our Lady as its first patroness and the church became the church of Our Lady of the Assumption (also called H. Maria Hemelvaart). Because the almost 400-year- old church had become too small, pastor Leyten decided to build a new church. Architect JJ van Langelaar, a student of Pierre Cuypers, was commissioned to design the church, after which construction began and a foundation stone was laid on 6 April 1886. On 23 May 1887, the church was consecrated by former pastor Leyten, who had since been ordained bishop.

This church was built after the previous church was irreparably damaged by war violence. The design for the church is by the architect Kees de Bever (Vught, 26 March 1897 - 9 January 1965) a cruciform church in traditionalist style with a tower placed on the side, a semi-circular apse instead of a choir and attached sacristies to the transepts, a central nave with side aisles. Above the main entrance, on the facade a canopy in which the gilded statue of Mary, originating from the tower of the previous church, is included.

This church replaced the previous church from 1838. Three-aisled basilica cruciform church without tower, in light expressionist forms. Sober work in the later oeuvre of Joseph Cuypers (1861 - 1949). Due to the lack of a real tower, this beautiful church is not noticeable enough. The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption on the Utrechtseweg is on the list to be closed. When the Cuypersgenootschap Foundation discovered that the church was not a municipal monument, it asked the board to grant the church the municipal monument status.

Large reconstruction church with a large tower. Immediately after the destruction of the medieval parish church on 13/14 May 1943, plans were made to rebuild the church. Ir. GM Leeuwenberg designed a basilica-shaped nave in the style of the Delft School, inspired by the Romanesque architectural style, built in 1949-1950. The tower was built in 1961-1962 on the foundations of the predecessor. The church was also expanded at that time. The carillon was installed in 1965. Two chapels were set up next to the tower: that of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and the Gildenkapel, completed in 1971. The tower was restored in 1981 and 1997. Several authentic objects from the pre-war church can still be seen in the interior. Pulpit from 1656, originating from the old church .

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.

Replaced a clandestine church in Sommelsdijk. Small neoclassical church. Spire from 1912.The organ that JJ Vollebregt ('s-Hertogenbosch) built for this church in 1861 was given a new purpose in 1962 as a choir organ in the Cathedral Church of St. Ignatius and St. Laurentius in Rotterdam. Subsequently, in 1968, after the closure of this cathedral in 1967, this organ was reinstalled in the Kreuzherrenkirche in Düsseldorf.

Built to replace the Roman Catholic parish church in Grubbenvorst that was destroyed in 1944. Inaugurated in 1952. Characteristic late work in the oeuvre of Maastricht architect Alphons Boosten (1893-1951). Tower completed in 1955.

Important interbellum church in neo-Gothic forms, with roof turret, in Hattemerbroek. Built next to old demolished church.
