The former Reformed Church is a hall church built in 1719, partly with material from its predecessor, and is located on a hill. It has furniture from the 18th century, such as a pulpit, lecterns and a chandelier. It once housed a clock museum. Until 2021, it housed the Dutch roof tile museum. Since 2024, it has been used as an event location.

The St. Hubertus Church from 1873 was designed by Arnoldus van Veggel and is a good example of early neo-Gothic. Before that, Catholics attended church in a barn church, which was regularly flooded. During the Second World War, the church was damaged, but the Allies caught the Germans, who wanted to blow up the tower, in time, so that the tower was preserved. The organ dates from 1880 and was built by the Gradussen brothers.

In the 1860s, the poor German Wouter Schiffer came to the Netherlands in search of work. He ended up in Engelen in Brabant, married the eldest daughter of the schoolmaster there and quickly managed to climb the social ladder. For example, in 1774 and 1780 he was named as representative of the Lord of Empel in the leasing and sale of land. In 1777 and 1781 Wouter Schiffer was even listed as mayor of the manor of Empel and Meerwijk. In 1792 he bought “a considerable house” on the Maasdijk in Alem for 2020 guilders. It would have been the largest house in Alem at that time, with a number of large rooms and one floor and a large piece of land. Source and more information: www dodeakkers.nl
