Overasselt
The former reformed church of Overasselt, now a museum, is the 15th-century choir of a church that was otherwise demolished in 1710. Obviously this building was large enough for the protestant minority of the village. Location: Valkstraat 7

The St. Antonius Abt was built in 1891 after a design in neo-Romanogothic style by C. Weber. Like other churches by Weber from this period, this one has a dome on the crossing; for financial reasons however it is hidden underneath the roof. Location: Hoogstraat 9
