At the end of the 13th century, in the midst of a period of prosperity, the Bishopric had a series of ecclesiastical buildings built, including a new cathedral built on an old Romanesque sanctuary that had become too small. This building collapsed in 1646, and the construction of the current building was built from 1656 to 1719 on Vauban's plans, and was not completely completed until 1894. Of the 13th century building, only the old gate rebuilt in the north arm remains. This portal is called the Apostles' portal.

A beautiful, secluded building, this is a colonial church from the 19th century with an octagonal roof turret. The arms of the city can be found in the wind vane on turret. In 1754, the 800 inhabitants of the town of Windeweer applied to the municipality of Groningen for a private church with a pastor. Their request was granted almost immediately and in 1755 the city of Groningen build this peat colonial church with a presbytery.

When the Reformed Church in Dedemsvaart felt compelled to build a new church in 1995, the architect GERRITSMA from Assen was asked to incorporate two facets. On the one hand, the building had to become the home - as the centre of church life - for the congregation. On the other hand, it had to be clearly recognisable as a church that is aware of its place in society - albeit not dominant, but modest. After extensive discussions, it was decided to create a space with a light character, but also with the privacy of round walls that envelop the congregation. Small openings provide a window on the world. The indirect daylight and the circular lines in the walls strengthen the feeling of intimacy and solidarity. At one point, the enveloping wall breaks open and only the structural frame remains, the facade gives way to make room for the light that falls from above.
