Sint Jozefkerk

Richly detailed large neo-Gothic church, with remarkably spireless tower, in the centre of Oss. Replaced older medieval church. Nicknamed "Grote Kerk". Exceptionally important early work by the Tilburg architect HJ van Tulder, who later designed many other large, monumental, church buildings.

Protestantse Gemeente te Oss, Paaskerk

On April 2, 1966, the church building was inaugurated as a new Reformed Church. The church replaced the older church in the centre of Oss, which was demolished after the move. Around 1978 the old church of the Reformed congregation on the Burgemeester Van den Elzenlaan in Oss had become too small and people started using the building of the Reformed congregation. A few years later, in 1980, a second church building was built behind the existing Reformed church building for the Reformed congregation. A few years later, only joint church services were held. In 1989 the Reformed Church and the Reformed Church federated. In addition, the church building was given the name Paaskerk and the annex has since been called Pentecost mound. In the years that followed, a new entrance and entrance hall were built that connected the two buildings.
The non-oriented church building is a modern church in the style of post-war modernism. It has an eight-sided ground plan from which a quarter has been cut. In the centre is a tower of metal columns with a belfry. Inside, the building consists of two rooms next to the entrance, with the second room being used for smaller services.

Heilige Geestkerk

Originally built in the name of St. Gerardus Majella 1924-1925, this church was built by the architect Ed. Cuypers and was nicknamed the "Fisherman's Church". It was originally established as a so-called "folk church" with a very wide nave. It has a large extension choir and transept which was built in 1958-1959. This extension was demolished again in 1997, however.

Synagoge

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, a synagogue was established in a rented space on the Varkensmarkt in Oss. Before that, religious services had been held in private homes since 1764. The dilapidated synagogue on the Varkensmarkt was replaced in 1831 by a new building on the Koornstraat . Half a century later, this building was expanded with a school and an official residence and formed the centre of Jewish life in Oss until the Second World War. After the liberation, it became clear that the synagogue could no longer be restored. The front facade has been preserved and is now a municipal monument. This building is listed as a Municipal Monument of the Netherlands.
