Parish church of Saint Albert in the Zwartberg mining district, built in 1939 to designs by Henry Lacoste. It is an imposing brick building with a six-bay nave, a semicircular apse and a massive square tower at the west end. The protection order sees in it a traditionalist architecture inspired by Berlage and the Delft School, with a touch of Art Deco; it has been a protected monument since 2002.
