Built in 1961 as a tourist church. Modern church without a tower. Since the closure of the St. Brandanus Church on West-Terschelling in 1985, the St. Petrus de Visser has been the parish church for the whole of Terschelling.

The church was built in 1905-1906 to replace a smaller church building from 1838. The construction of the church cost fl. 52,100. Architect Wolter te Riele designed a three-aisled cruciform church in neo-Gothic style, with a semi-recessed tower with two sections and an octagonal spire at the western entrance.

St. Peter and Paul,1899. Three-aisled neo-Gothic hall church with slender tower. Mechanical tower clock, B. Eijsbouts, 1914, now driven by an unprotected synchronous motor. Interior of an organ built by Maarschalkerweerd in 1870, originating from the Reformed Orphanage in The Hague in an organ case from 1882 by an unknown maker, originating from the Reformed Church of Rijnsaterwoude.

Large, oriented neo-Gothic church with graceful high tower (76 m), the second highest church tower in Eindhoven (the highest church tower in Eindhoven is that of the St. Joriskerk, 87.5 m). Built to replace the old St. Petruskerk in Woensel, to (now in the) north of Eindhoven. Of that historical church, "De Oude Toren" still exists, to the east of this St. Petruskerk. This is one of 4 large monumental Van Tulder churches that were built in a short period of time in the Diocese of 's-Hertogenbosch, and were inspired in terms of interior by the Cathedral Basilica of St. John in 's-Hertogenbosch. The other 3 are the OL Vrouw Imbachtig Ontvangen in Oss, the St. Jozefkerk in Tilburg (Heuvel) and the Maria Geboorte in Vlijmen (the most monumental Van Tulder church is however the later built St. Joriskerk in Eindhoven-Stratum).

Important neoclassical church with tower. Renovations in 1951 (Sluijmer) and 1972 (Starmans).

The church was built in the garden of the rectory. Its predecessor was a neo-Gothic basilica from 1880 , designed by Peter Bekkers , to which the 15th-century tower was attached. This was demolished in 1927 , but the tower was preserved. The current church is a large church in eclectic style and has a number of remarkable dome towers, including a somewhat higher tower on the cross-passage. The architect of this church was Hubert van Groenendael . It is seen as a transition between neo-Gothic and the Amsterdam School . The vault of the church is painted with scenes, including the Works of Mercy. There are stained glass windows depicting the Apostles.

Interesting neo-Gothic church with tower in the church village of Loo.

Barn church, until 1801.

Roman Catholic church building protected exclusively BECAUSE of the 18th century PULPIT, TWO ALTARS with parts of the communion bench dating from around 1700 and an ORGAN, originating from the predecessor of the former St. Petrus Banden church, designed in 1856 by Th. Molkenboer and completely demolished in 1969 and replaced by the current church building. NB The pulpit and the communion bench have been repositioned in the new church in a modified design. The pulpit is now placed against the wall, whereby the stairs, originally led to the rear along a pillar, have been turned to the front and the guards, previously behind the left open door, are now positioned in front of the left dungeon door. After restoration, five panels of the communion bench were reused in the main altar in the original order and frame. Four angel figures, originally placed between the panels against pilasters, have been incorporated separately in a side altar.

In the period from 1648 until the French period, the Hofkerk was used by the Protestants. A period of decline for the building. The Romanesque tower and part of the church (two bays of the nave) collapsed in 1650. The tower was not rebuilt and the church was shortened by a few meters. The bell house was built in 1669 to replace the tower, in which a monumental bell from 1367 is hung. In 1798, the church was put back into use by the Catholics. Major restoration in 1888-1893 in neo-Gothic style by C. Franssen. The two bays that were lost in 1650 were rebuilt, and a new west facade was built. In almost two centuries of construction and restoration, the church grew into a beautifully decorated church.
