H.H. Martinus en Agatha

Roman Catholic Church dedicated to St. Martin of Tours. Design from 1932 in traditionalist style by architect H. Valk from 's-Hertogenbosch with, among other things, regional style characteristics of the Kempen Gothic style. The church, which has a floor plan of approximately 27 meters square, is not oriented. The altar faces north. On the north-east side of the church, between the church and the rectory, lies the sacristy. In the original design, the location of the sacristy was situated on the north-west side of the church. During the execution, a different location was chosen, which meant that the old giant sequoia in the rectory garden was spared.
