Three-aisled neo-Gothic pseudo-basilica with front tower, designed by G. te Riele. Stylistically influenced by the late Lower Rhine Gothic and by the work of A. Tepe. In 1933 drastically changed and expanded with a new transept and choir by J. Haket. On the choir tribune provided with letter panels a single-manual organ from 1900, made by Ludwig Schwarze (1858-1925) from Anholt. In the period January to June 2005 the church (1895, G. te Riele) was restored. The chancel in particular has been changed and is now much more functionally furnished. This means that the church can be given a multifunctional purpose, such as a concert hall. (54-05)

Nice little church, designed after Greek Orthodox churches, but with Dutch unpainted brick material. This Greek Orthodox church was built in Rotterdam in 1957. The church, which is dedicated to Saint Nicholas, is an important symbol for the Greek community in the Netherlands. The construction of the church was a long process. Shortly after the Second World War, the Association of Greeks in the Netherlands started a fundraising campaign to finance the construction. The Greek community in the Netherlands was still small at the time, but the need for its own church was great. The church was designed by the Dutch architects ir De Jongh, Taen and dr ir Thomas Nix. The design was inspired by Byzantine architecture, which plays an important role in the Greek Orthodox tradition. The church has a cross-shaped floor plan and is built of brick. The facade is decorated with a mosaic of Saint Nicholas. The construction of the church was completed in 1957 and was consecrated by the Greek Metropolitan Damaskinos of Chios. The church has since become an important centre for the Greek community in the Netherlands. Here Greeks from all over the Netherlands come together to pray, celebrate and meet each other.

The first Sint-Odulpuskerk in Assendelft was built around 1410, but was transferred to the Protestants during the Reformation in 1582. The Catholics of Assendelft used clandestine churches in the centuries that followed , until a new church was built in 1853. However, this water board church turned out to be too small and dilapidated after a few decades, which is why it was decided to build a new church in 1883.
