The Sint-Vincentiuskerk is the former parish church of Velp. Originally dedicated to Saint Vincent Madelgarius, later, probably in the 17th century, Vincent of Zaragoza was regarded as the patron saint. The church was previously attached to the chapter of Saint Vincentius in Zinnik.

The reformed church of Leur is a church building dating from the 13th century in the Gelderland estate of Leur, municipality of Wijchen.

The church is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. In 1311, the church came into the possession of the then influential Cistercian monastery Kamp in Kamp-Lintfort and it became the mother church of the churches in Bergharen and Overasselt. During the 15th and 16th centuries, three monks from Leur became abbot of the monastery in Kamp, which is unusual for a small village church. In 1566, like neighboring churches, the church was plundered by the sons of Herman van Bronckhorst under the influence of the Reformation. In 1621 the abbey sold the land around the church to three Amsterdam citizens and the church fell into the hands of the Reformed. The local lords of Leur did have the right of collation, with which they could nominate a local minister for appointment.

The maintenance of the church was taken to heart by the Van Balveren family, owners of the House in Leur. In 1752, a burial chapel was built against the choir for this family, and for the Van Verschuer family.

In 1976 the church was transferred to the Old Gelderse Churches Foundation.
