Neo-Gothic church, situated on a hill and therefore visible from far. Replaced an earlier church. Expansion, including a tower, 1910 after a design by J. van Gils.

Roman Catholic brick dome church with tower and consistory designed in 1952 by Alphons M. Siebers (1893-1978) and Wilhelm M. van Dael (1912-1985). The architectural firm Van Zantbeek en Schoonis from Sas van Gent was responsible for the execution in the years 1953-1954. The church was built in a traditionalist style according to the principles of the Bossche School. It can be seen as Siebers' built argument in his discussion with JAC Tillema in the Katholiek Bouwblad in 1951-1952 about the values ​​of post-war (Catholic) church construction and the relationship between liturgy and architecture. Important artists made high-quality contributions in the form of stone and sculpture, bronze works and paintings. The church was built as a successor to the church that was partly destroyed on 20 September 1944, whereby the building site was moved slightly to the southwest and a row of houses was demolished for the sake of a better urban and visual connection to the Market. The painted Stations of the Cross from 1938 by the Ghent artist Alberic Ysabie - on which parishioners were also depicted - were taken from the predecessor. The church is known as the Holy Assumption of Mary.

Exceptionally important work by architect HW Valk. Robust church with west tower and crossing tower.

In 1648, the practice of the Catholic religion was prohibited and the old church came into the possession of the Reformed. The parishioners first moved to the chapel of IJpelaar Castle. From 1683, a barn church was used. In 1809, the badly dilapidated old church of Bavel was returned to the Roman Catholics. After the Catholic hierarchy was restored in the Netherlands in 1853 and there were dioceses with bishops again, the existing parish of Bavel was confirmed in 1855 by the Breda bishop Mgr. Van Hooydonk. The old parish boundaries were practically maintained. In addition to Saint Brigida, the parish now had Our Lady as its first patroness and the church became the church of Our Lady of the Assumption (also called H. Maria Hemelvaart). Because the almost 400-year- old church had become too small, pastor Leyten decided to build a new church. Architect JJ van Langelaar, a student of Pierre Cuypers, was commissioned to design the church, after which construction began and a foundation stone was laid on 6 April 1886. On 23 May 1887, the church was consecrated by former pastor Leyten, who had since been ordained bishop.

Important neo-Gothic church with tower, the only crossing tower of WVA Tepe.

The church was built around 1400. In 1640, the church was rebuilt on the same foundations using the old parts. The pulpit and some gravestones in the church date from that time. When the population increased significantly in the 19th century due to the establishment of the Maatschappij van Weldadigheid in Frederiksoord, the church was given a side aisle in 1853, which was removed during the restoration in 1964-1967. The tower on the church was built in 1874 to replace an old double bell tower. In 1875, the monumental Van Dam organ was built. The church is located on the churchyard and is a late Gothic single-nave church built around 1400, when it did not yet have a tower. In 1842 it was enlarged with a transept in a northern direction. Above the west facade there is a roof turret. The current tower dates from 1874 and replaced the bell tower. During the restoration of 1960 and 1967, the northern extension was removed and the original appearance was restored. Since the Reformation, Noordwolde has been part of the combination Steggerda, Vinkega, Noordwolde and Boijl. The then minister lived in Noordwolde. In 1727, the municipality of Steggerda, Vinkega and got its own minister. In 1860, the municipality of Boijl also became independent.
