The neo-Romanesque St. Antonius Church, as we know it today, was built in 1873-1875 as a replacement for the former barn church. The church was consecrated on 12 September 1875. At the end of the Second World War, the 63 m tower was blown up by the Germans, a large part of the church was destroyed. The church was then rebuilt in 1948 in neo-Romanesque style, without a tower. In the church there is a model of the church in all its glory, with the tower as it was the landmark of Lepelstraat until October 1944.

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.

This Roman Catholic Church is dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua. The church building is a tall building with a short tower and a three-sided choir closure. The building was put into use in 1866. In the chancel there are two stained glass windows: one depicts Saint Anthony, the other Andreas Woutersz. van Heinenoord, one of the 19 Martyrs of Gorcum. In 2016, attention was paid to the 150th anniversary of this church. In the context of this anniversary, the stained glass windows were restored. The necessary money for this was donated in the course of 2016. This church is listed as a Municipal Monument of the Netherlands.
