The Monastery of Saint Agatha is the oldest continuously inhabited convent in the Netherlands. It was founded in 1371 and has ever since been inhabited by the Order of the Holy Cross. Today, a small community of the religious order still lives in the monastery.

Juliën from Liège, cast in 1695 with diameters respectively 63.8 and 55.4 cm. The inventory includes: pulpit, three offering blocks, chandelier, XVII. Organ with two manuals and pedal from 1950 by H. Spanjaard (Amsterdam). It replaced an organ from 1708.

The old church from 1420 remained fairly constant until the renovation / restoration in 1879 by PJH Cuypers. In 1932 enlarged by architect Van de Leur in Nijmegen, by creating a transept. Also side rooms around the chancel from 1420. Damaged by war in 1944 (the tower was blown up). The same architect Van de Leur restored and enlarged the church in 1954: the nave and the tower were restored in the old style, whereby the width of the side aisles of the nave was doubled.
