Oldemarkt, NL
In 1448 a chapel was built on this site. In 1850 it was expanded with a side aisle on the south side. This side aisle was demolished again in 1970-1973, during the restoration. As a result, the church regained its original form. For the construction of the chapel at that time, a certain Jacob Muerling, who had many possessions in Oldemarkt, made a considerable effort by donating lands to the church. The parish church was at that time in Paaslo. In 1489, the parish church was transferred to Oldemarkt. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

Boven-Hardinxveld, NL
Important neoclassical church with roof turret. The current church building was put into use on 16 February 1862. Before that, there was probably already a chapel on the same site, dating from Roman Catholic times. This was therefore already built before the Reformation. This chapel was probably partly destroyed during the Eighty Years' War and was also once ravaged by fire.

Giessen, NL
The history of the church in Giessen goes back to the 11th century. During a study between 1958 and 1960, foundation remains of a tuff stone hall church of 16 x 8 metres were found on the east side, adjacent to the church. Due to flooding in 1275, the western part of the church was washed away and the building collapsed. Approximately eleven years later, in 1286, reconstruction began, with the nave being given the same dimensions. The remaining part of the foundation was used for this. In addition, a three-sided closed choir was built onto the nave. Some time later, a transept chapel was added to the northern side.
