The church in Molenaarsgraaf, beautifully restored in 1961, consists of a wide single-aisled nave from the first half of the 16th century and a narrower, three-sided closed choir, built around 1500. During the restoration, several traces were found of a church that must have stood there earlier. The cast-iron windows from the 19th century were replaced by brick windows during the restoration. The windows were fitted with stained glass with bronze bridge rods. The bell was made in 1710. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

Nice reconstruction church with tower. In this church a historical organ.

Although the H. Severinus chapel stood here around 1350, the current church was only built around 1850. An old schoolroom from 1658 was converted into a church in 1851. This created a hall church with barrel vaults. The addition of two side wings with portals in 1937 changed this design. The front facade has two pointed arch windows and a round window. Striking is the climbing arch frieze in which pointed arches and entire circle shapes are also incorporated, as well as the clock face. The facade is crowned with a small bell tower.

Late neo-Gothic church with historic tower.

The 19th century tower is the youngest part, the choir is early 16th century. But then the nave: tuff stone and completely Romanesque, clearly recognizable by the arched frieze decoration and the small round arched windows on the north side. For more light, larger windows have been installed in the south wall. Inside is a remarkable church council bench, perhaps a former communion bench.
