Interesting neoclassical church with historic tower. After the Reformation, the committee that was set up to prepare the construction of the Catholic church in Loenen received permission from King Willem II on 13 February 1846 to start construction. The king gave a subsidy of 6,000 guilders on condition that the church would be built by Waterstaat. The total cost of the church amounted to fl. 13,332.--. The Hackfort family (Kasteel ter Horst) donated a newly built parsonage as well as the land for the church, garden and cemetery, but on condition that they would have the first two pews of the new church at their disposal and that they would have the right to make their own family burial vault in the cemetery. The “Horsten benches” are still in the church. The coats of arms of the Hackfort family and the Van Wijnbergen family are on the doors.

The history of the current St. Antonius Church in Kortenhoef begins on March 28, 1879, the date of the letter in which the Archbishop of Utrecht, Mgr. Schaepman, authorized the church board to tender the construction of a new church and parsonage. The church had to be built according to the drawing and specifications that architect Alfred Tepe in Utrecht had presented to the Archbishop. The church had to replace a barn church from 1810 (formerly a coach house). It became a neo-Gothic hall church with a tower, which would be provided with diagonal buttresses and four niches in each facade surface of the bell floor.

Characteristic small neo-Romanesque hall church with tower next to the choir, designed by Jos. Margry (1888-1982). Church, parish and the development village were founded at the beginning of the twentieth century. The church was restored in 2005. Until the arrival of a church, residents of Loosbroek were dependent on the church in Heeswijk. In 1898, chaplain De Groot was commissioned by Bishop Wilhelmus van de Ven to establish a parish and a church. After acquiring land from residents of Heeswijk Castle, a temporary church was built in the village that same year, which had to be rebuilt again in 1902 due to its poor condition. In the same year, construction began on a full-fledged church designed by architect Jos Margry. To finance the construction, the parish received a donation from the Antoniusfonds, whereby the church had to be dedicated to Antonius van Padua. The church was consecrated in 1912. The church is built as a hall church and has neo-Romanesque elements. The church tower, with an octagonal spire between four gables, stands next to the nave of the church. In the side gable are placed round windows with bifora underneath. Behind the church is the parsonage. In the church is a relic of Saint Donatus and an attempt was made to make the church a small place of pilgrimage. Donatus also appears in statues and candles in the church.
