Barn Church

The current barn church was built in the mid-18th century to replace an old barn church dating back to 1647. The barn churches were built in Gilze by the predominantly Catholic population when the main church of St. Petrus Bandenkerk was made Protestant. It was not until 1818 that the Catholics of Gilze were able to return to the St. Petrus Bandenkerk.
