The tower is 98 metres high and is one of the 4 highest church towers in the Netherlands *. The church stands on the site of the former clandestine church from 1786. Important elements in the interior are the wooden vault, the stained glass windows and the colourful brick patterns in the masonry.

The current church replaced the older, neo-Gothic church from 1889. Consecrated in 1924.

The stained glass windows of the church, except for the tower, were completely restored. At the beginning of June 2004 the church was reopened with many festivities.

The Sint-Willibrorduskerk in Bodegraven was designed around 1859 by Pierre Cuypers (1827 - 1921). It was consecrated in 1865. The building is a three-aisled cruciform basilica in brick, in a sober early Gothic style with pointed wooden barrel vaults. The nave is four bays deep and has a cross-shaped building that connects to the choir. The choir is one bay deep and is connected to rectangular radiating chapels. It is closed on five sides and is covered by brick vaults. The brickwork is made of grey-red brick and has braids and bands of yellow and black stone in the interior. The church was consecrated on 10 July 1865 by Mgr. Wilmer.

Three-aisled neo-Romanesque cruciform basilica with west tower. Typical of C. Franssen's oeuvre, in this case built under slight influence of late Romanesque architecture in the German Rhineland. The interior has plastered rib vaults. Some stained glass windows in the left wall of the nave are (presumably) from the previous church. The church was expanded in 1935 with two side aisles by J. Franssen.

During the Reformation, the Catholics of Ruurlo attended church in Zwillbrock, just across the German border. From 1801, they had a barn church in their own municipality. In 1828, a new, larger church was completed. In its place, the current parish church, dedicated to St. Willibrordus, was built in 1869-1870, based on a design by Dr. Pierre Cuypers (1827 - 1921). The church, like that of Cuypers in neighbouring Kranenburg, was built thanks to a legacy from Baron Van Dorth tot Medler. The church was originally built as a single-nave hall church with a narrowed and straight-closed choir, side-mounted gables, and a front tower. The interior is covered by a wooden barrel vault.
