Heilige Antonius Abt

In 1904, the Waterstaat church was demolished to make way for a new neo-Gothic church that had been built just north of the Waterstaat church. This church was designed by Caspar Franssen. It is a neo-Gothic cruciform basilica with a crossing tower and a high entrance tower with four sections. Its colourful neo-Gothic interior has been particularly well preserved. The church contains a Pieta by the Den Bosch artist Van de Ven, who died suddenly when it was installed. When swine fever broke out in 1997, a special mass was celebrated in this church, after which various pig farmers maintained a devotion to St. Anthony Abbot.
