Originally, Klein Zundert had a medieval church. This building was restored somewhat around 1610, after severe damage in the Eighty Years' War, and made usable, and partly provided with a new interior. In 1645, further renovation and restoration followed, during which armorial glasses were also installed, made by the 'glass writer' Jean de la Habarre. Again, new altars were installed, including two side altars with lecterns, by Alph. Jordaens, and a pulpit by Hendrik van Velmen, modelled on the one in Minderhout.

The Roman Catholic Church, built on the western side of the Hoofdstraat in the centre of Liessel and dedicated to St. Willibrordus, was built between 1899 and 1901 and was designed by C. Franssen. It is a non-oriented Neo-Gothic cross basilica with an eastern tower. The church was consecrated on 30 April 1901. In 1944 the church was severely damaged by war. Shortly after the war, as a result of this damage, part of the masonry, vaults and roof, as well as the spire, were renewed under the architecture of SJP van der Sluijs (Eindhoven). The repairs were generally carried out in a neo-Gothic style.
