St. Nicholas, 1876-1877, Pierre Cuypers (1827 - 1921). Three-aisled neo-Gothic pseudo-basilica with octagonal crossing, covered by a star vault. Round pillars with moulded capitals. According to the first design, the church had almost the layout of a central building; during the execution, the nave and transept were extended and later Cuypers added two rectangular, diagonal chapels in each of the corners of the crossing. Next to the nave a sober tower, decorated with pointed arch niches and crowned by a high spire. Extension 1924-1925 with, among other things, widening of the side aisles and porch, to a design by Joseph Cuypers (1861 - 1949) and Pierre Cuypers Jr (1891 - 1982). During a modernisation of the interior in 1966-1967, much of the neo-Gothic inventory was removed, including three altars; the five stained glass windows in the apse windows have been preserved. Mechanical tower clock by Eijsbouts, 1917, equipped with electric drive. Restorations in 1982 and 2010.

This church was a neo-Gothic cruciform church by father and son Van Groenendael, probably in collaboration with mgr. H. Wouters, director of the Episcopal College in Weert and a brother of the pastor in Meijel. The church thus obtained was called the 'cathedral of the Peel' because of its beauty and large size. Because the new church was built on the same site as the old one, the parish was dependent on an emergency church, which remained in use from 1901 until the blessing of the new building in 1904. The church was not yet fully furnished upon completion, a process that continued until 1944.

An important work in the oeuvre of JAA Dresmé, also a remarkable and important example of (liturgical) innovation in Roman Catholic church building around 1960, stylistically slightly influenced by the work of Le Corbusier. As an example of post-war Roman Catholic church building in the province of Groningen, the church has a rarity value.
