1. Hartebrugkerk Marker
Rooms-katholieke parochiekerk, gebouwd in 1836 door Th. Molkenboer. De naam van de kerk is ontleend aan de Hartebrug over de Mare waar de kerk langs was gebouwd. De oorspronkelijke koepeltoren bleek in 1892 in zo slechte staat te verkeren, dat hij onmiddellijk moest worden gesloopt. Nog in hetzelfde jaar werd hij vervangen door de huidige toren boven de voorgevel. Restauratie van de voorgevel en de toren had plaats van 1979 tot 1982.
(English translation of Dutch text above:)
Roman Catholic parish church, built in 1836 by Theo Molkenboer. The name of the church is derived from the Hartebrug over the Mare along which the church was built. The original dome tower was found to be in such bad shape in 1892 that it had to be demolished immediately. In the same year it was replaced by the current tower above the facade. Restoration of the facade and the tower took place from 1979 to 1982.
