The St. Michael or Paterskerk was built by the Dominican Fathers between 1659 and 1668 on the site of the St. Catharinagasthuis. The church is built in the South Holland baroque style. Inside, the imposing baroque main altar (unique in the Netherlands) and the richly carved oak paneling along the entire length of both side walls are striking. The visual arts in the church are entirely in the service of the Catholic Reformation.
The small stone lion next to the front door commemorates the event from 1938. Two lions escaped from a circus in the market square during high mass on St. Rosa Sunday. The lion Azor quietly walked into the crowded church and snuggled up to the altar.
