Protestant families in Lattrop and Breklenkamp were prepared to sign a petition from G. Rikkink and J. Groeneveld in 1816 to help the parishioners in Lattrop and Breklenkamp to their own church. In addition to the reasons already given by Bentinck about the distance to Ootmarsum and the large amount of water in the Dinkel in the winter, the unsuitability of the current location is now discussed in detail: “In the aforementioned farmhouse, which according to local custom contains the home of the householders and the stable for the cattle without a partition or dividing wall, and therefore directly with and in the presence of horses and cows to attend the Holy Mass and sermon”. According to tradition, three locations are eligible for these special clandestine churches: 1. A barn on the Bodde farm on the Bergvennenweg. 2. The barn on the former Pikkemaat farm on the Frensdorferweg. 3. On the Scholte Lubberink estate on Dorpsstraat. Coach house with wall of former peat storage at church in Lattrop

Roman Catholic Church with parsonage and Holy Heart Statue, dedicated to Saints Theobaldus and Antonius of Padua, designed by architect Jan Strik (1912-1992) in shake-hands architecture. The building pastor was MJ van Boxtel. Together with the architect, he sought inspiration for the design in Switzerland. The village of Overloon, including the village church, was almost completely destroyed by war in October 1944. The church was consecrated on 12 May 1957. The church is located on a slight elevation at the 14 Oktoberplein, the centre of the new Overloon, slightly outside the then village centre. The clock faces on the tower are oriented towards this centre. The lines of the church were taken as the starting point for the design of the square, which was redesigned in 2001-2002. There is a cemetery behind the church. The stained glass windows were designed by Marius de Leeuw from 's Hertogenbosch. The altar was donated by the Roman Catholic Fuel Traders' Association. The brick reliefs on the front facades, as well as the polychrome statues of St. Theobaldus, St. Anthony, St. Mary and St. Joseph were designed for this church by Leo Geurtjens. The artistic wrought ironwork is by H. van de Tillart. A number of elements come from the destroyed church. For example, the church has a 17th century crucifix and statues of the Sacred Heart, St. Theresia of Lisieux, St. Donatus and a nativity scene by Piet van Dongen, and a polychrome limewood statue of St. Theobaldus from 1930. The Sacred Heart statue (1930) was made by the Thissen Company from Roermond.
