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.

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".
