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.

The current parish church of Our Lady of the Assumption of Mary in Beltrum was built after a period of renovations and expansions. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, a water board church stood here, which was expanded in 1862-1864 to a design by HJ Wennekers. In 1894, the church was again renovated by WVA Tepe; that is when the current neo-Gothic tower was built. The last major expansion took place in 1929-'30 under the direction of architect GAP de Kort. On the site of the former nave, the current nave and transept were built under slight influence of the brick expressionism of the 1920s.
