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.

The Roman Catholic St. Willibrordus Church was built in 1913-1914 to a design by Wolter te Riele (1867 - 1937) from Deventer and executed by contractor A. de Boer from Coevorden. The building is constructed in a simple neo-Gothic style. The interior paintings applied in 1925 by Fa. Cuypers from Roermond have disappeared. The interior is not protected.

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.

The church building dates from 1941, which was of course a strange time to build a church. On the other hand, it was not yet known at that time whether the German occupation would be permanent.

Late neo-Gothic church with historic tower.

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.

In 1841 a parish was founded and a church built. Since 1885 Sint Willebrord has been a place of pilgrimage. In that year a first Lourdes grotto was built. In 1925 a new church was built. The original design by pastor Bastiaansen, a representation of the Basilica of Lourdes, was elaborated by the architect Jacques (NJH) van Groenendael from Breda. In front of the church is a procession park.

Hall church on an almost rectangular plan, consisting of a partly exposed concrete skeleton, filled with brick. A detached, openwork bell tower and semi-detached baptismal chapel to the side. Front facade with simple narthex. The central nave is covered by a curved concrete shell roof. As a whole, the church is an important example of renewal, also a fairly exceptional early example of modernism in Roman Catholic church architecture from the 1950s. This church is listed as a Municipal Monument of the Netherlands.

Tower added in 1475. Church demolished in 1856, and replaced. The historic tower was then maintained.

The church of Diessen is named after Saint Willibrord, an English Benedictine monk. Around 712, he donated a number of properties, including properties in Diessen, to the abbey of Echternach. At that time, Willibrord also built a well in the village for baptism. A 16th-century replica can still be seen next to the church, which has undergone several transformations over time. In 1161, the church consisted of a chapel made of wood and straw. In order to manage the properties donated by Willibrord, the abbot of Echternach had appointed a guardian or advocate in various places, who also exercised a form of worldly authority in the area assigned to him. The Benedictines of Echternach were also involved in pastoral care in Diessen.
