Three-aisled cruciform basilica with multi-faceted closed pseudotransept (transept) in late neo-Gothic style. Typical in the oeuvre of H.

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.

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.

Extremely important, unique, fantastic church with dome and double tower front.

The church originated from a clandestine church . This was served by Franciscan fathers and was located from 1641 at the back of the current church in the house "Moyses" on the Jodenbreestraat , where a statue of Moses hung on the facade. In 1682, the adjacent house "Aäron" ( Aäron ) was also purchased by Dr. Johannes de Vroom, a physician from Breda.
