Replaced a clandestine church in Sommelsdijk. Small neoclassical church. Spire from 1912.The organ that JJ Vollebregt ('s-Hertogenbosch) built for this church in 1861 was given a new purpose in 1962 as a choir organ in the Cathedral Church of St. Ignatius and St. Laurentius in Rotterdam. Subsequently, in 1968, after the closure of this cathedral in 1967, this organ was reinstalled in the Kreuzherrenkirche in Düsseldorf.

Our Lady of the Assumption, consecrated 1885, Alfred Tepe. Three-aisled neo-Gothic cruciform basilica with octagonal crossing tower and external design with motifs derived from Romanesque: lesenes, arched friezes and small round upper windows. The crossing tower and the use of Romanesque motifs make this church an exceptional work in Tepe's oeuvre.

This church replaced an older church that was put into use on 16 February 1858. However, after more than half a century, it was in poor condition. Hence the new construction in 1923-'24. The new church, designed by architect M. Roebbers, is a large cruciform church on a centralising floor plan, with a narrowed and lowered semi-circular apse and a high tower to the side. The whole is built in light expressionist forms. The interior is largely executed in fair-faced brickwork and the crossing is covered by a large painted brick dome. During the Second World War, the church and the parish house were damaged and the bells were stolen by the occupier. The war damage has been repaired.

The current parish church of Our Lady of the Assumption of Mary in Beltrum was built after a period of renovations and expansions. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, a water board church stood here, which was expanded in 1862-1864 to a design by HJ Wennekers. In 1894, the church was again renovated by WVA Tepe; that is when the current neo-Gothic tower was built. The last major expansion took place in 1929-'30 under the direction of architect GAP de Kort. On the site of the former nave, the current nave and transept were built under slight influence of the brick expressionism of the 1920s.

This church was built after the previous church was irreparably damaged by war violence. The design for the church is by the architect Kees de Bever (Vught, 26 March 1897 - 9 January 1965) a cruciform church in traditionalist style with a tower placed on the side, a semi-circular apse instead of a choir and attached sacristies to the transepts, a central nave with side aisles. Above the main entrance, on the facade a canopy in which the gilded statue of Mary, originating from the tower of the previous church, is included.

The church replaced a church from 1852. Characteristic example of Roman Catholic church building from the interbellum, designed according to the idea of ​​the Christocentric people's church. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

Church from 1949.

In several architectural respects this church is comparable to the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of Lourdes in Bergen op Zoom, designed at almost the same time, designed by the same architects, with almost the same floor plan, but higher (church hall, tower, dome). As such typical of the late oeuvre of Joseph Cuypers (1861 - 1949) (in collaboration with his son Pierre Cuypers Jr (1891 - 1982)), in which he experimented with the cross between the people's church and the central building.

Large reconstruction church with a large tower. Immediately after the destruction of the medieval parish church on 13/14 May 1943, plans were made to rebuild the church. Ir. GM Leeuwenberg designed a basilica-shaped nave in the style of the Delft School, inspired by the Romanesque architectural style, built in 1949-1950. The tower was built in 1961-1962 on the foundations of the predecessor. The church was also expanded at that time. The carillon was installed in 1965. Two chapels were set up next to the tower: that of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and the Gildenkapel, completed in 1971. The tower was restored in 1981 and 1997. Several authentic objects from the pre-war church can still be seen in the interior. Pulpit from 1656, originating from the old church .

This church replaced the previous church from 1838. Three-aisled basilica cruciform church without tower, in light expressionist forms. Sober work in the later oeuvre of Joseph Cuypers (1861 - 1949). Due to the lack of a real tower, this beautiful church is not noticeable enough. The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption on the Utrechtseweg is on the list to be closed. When the Cuypersgenootschap Foundation discovered that the church was not a municipal monument, it asked the board to grant the church the municipal monument status.
