The first parish church, dating from 1898, with the rectory next to it, stood on the 's Gravenweg. This neo-Gothic church was demolished in May 1992 due to dilapidation and replaced by a new church, located on Kerklaan 20, on the site of the former town hall. After many years of preparation, this new St. Joseph's Church was solemnly consecrated and put into use on 6 November 1992 by the then Bishop of Rotterdam, Mgr. R.Ph. Bär.

The neo-Gothic CHAPEL on the Roman Catholic cemetery behind the Roman Catholic church St. Joseph on the Hamersveldseweg was built in 1916 to a design by the architect H. Kroes. The chapel is situated at the end of the main axis in the south-eastern corner of the cemetery. The chapel has a floor plan in the shape of a Greek cross and has a basement. The roof, covered with slates in Maasdekking, consists of two intersecting saddle roofs with a roof turret at the intersection. A zinc finial has been placed on the four ridge ends. The facades are built of gray brick in cross bond. The four gables are flanked by a cut buttress that ends in a pinnacle. The pinnacles are provided with a crowning with a chevron-shaped ornament similar to that on the entrance gate to the cemetery. The front (west side) contains a large pointed arch opening with a frame in red brick. Above the opening is a medallion with a representation of the resurrection of Christ. Around the medallion and along the roof edge is a band of decorative brickwork in red brick. A partly natural stone pavement leads to the opening, closed off by a two-winged, rotating iron bar gate with a narrow, fixed fence on either side. The connecting posts of the gate are crowned with ornaments in Art Nouveau style. The central post is provided with a cross.
