The Sint-Willibrorduskerk in Bodegraven was designed around 1859 by Pierre Cuypers (1827 - 1921). It was consecrated in 1865. The building is a three-aisled cruciform basilica in brick, in a sober early Gothic style with pointed wooden barrel vaults. The nave is four bays deep and has a cross-shaped building that connects to the choir. The choir is one bay deep and is connected to rectangular radiating chapels. It is closed on five sides and is covered by brick vaults. The brickwork is made of grey-red brick and has braids and bands of yellow and black stone in the interior. The church was consecrated on 10 July 1865 by Mgr. Wilmer.

The church replaced a neo-Gothic church from 1864 with a medieval tower that was destroyed in 1944.

In 1979, this bell tower was replaced by a concrete open bell tower next to the church, designed by PW Lerou.

The Johannes de Doper Parish in Arnhem had grown so much in size in the early 1940s that the Episcopate considered the time ripe to split the parish and build a new church. In 1943, on the initiative of Dean Voskuilen, a committee was set up to deal with the construction.

Originally, Klein Zundert had a medieval church. This building was restored somewhat around 1610, after severe damage in the Eighty Years' War, and made usable, and partly provided with a new interior. In 1645, further renovation and restoration followed, during which armorial glasses were also installed, made by the 'glass writer' Jean de la Habarre. Again, new altars were installed, including two side altars with lecterns, by Alph. Jordaens, and a pulpit by Hendrik van Velmen, modelled on the one in Minderhout.
