The original parish church (Petrus' Banden) of Oisterwijk is returned to the Roman Catholics during the reign of King Lodewijk Napoleon. For an amount of ƒ 7,000, a new church for the Reformed (later Protestant) will be built. Mr. Hubert is given and accepts the assignment to design the drawings of the new church and to draw up the associated specifications, cost estimates, etc. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.
The current St. Petrus' Bandenkerk was completed in 1897, and replaced a church from the thirteenth century. The church is considered a very important work in the late oeuvre of Dr. Pierre Cuypers (1827 - 1921). This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.
Extremely important church with a wide saddle roof tower. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.
On the southern side of the square-like widening of Kerkstraat stands the Roman Catholic CHURCH BUILDING, dedicated to St. Cecilia. The neo-Gothic church dates from 1898 and was built to a design by C. Franssen (Roermond). A barn church had stood on the site of the church building since 1672, which was renovated in 1767. The extension against the western transept arm, consisting of a parish hall with connecting corridors dating from 1975, is not protected. In 1898, the bells from the medieval old tower were hung in the tower of this church.
