St.-Petrus' Banden kerk

This church was built in the early 12th century on the site of a predecessor that may date back to the 5th century, but there are no written documents about this. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

The Our Lady Chapel, located along the Beerze River, is a popular pilgrimage site in Brabant. The legend dates back to 1406 when a shepherd found a statue of Mary floating in the river and placed it in an oak tree. When moved to a church, the statue mysteriously returned to the tree, seen as a divine sign to build a chapel.

Beautiful neo-Gothic church with a defining tower. 1884 tower, spire destroyed by war in 1944, renewed in 1959. In the middle of last (which?) year the clock on the railway side in the tower of the Roman Catholic St. Odulphus Church stood still. Worn out. A restoration would cost over 7000 euros. A well-organized campaign yielded over 12,000 euros in a short time. The clock was restored in the fall of 2006. And with the money that was left over, the bell of the St. Odulphus Chapel next to the church could be repaired so that it can make its voice heard again.
