    The church was built between 1867 and 1880 and was made basilica minor in 1912. The church is a scaled-down copy of St. Peter's Basilica, with the front of St. John Lateran in Rome. Source: nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basiliek_van_de_H.H._Agatha_en_Barbara

    Hiking

    In 1865 the first spade was broken, but years of preparation preceded this. Willem Hellemons asked the Netherlands' greatest architect of his time, Petrus (Pierre) Cuypers, to design and build the new church in Oudenbosch. Cuypers, a man of the neo-Gothic style, preferred not to build a neoclassical church, but Willem Hellemons managed to convince Cuypers. After Cuypers made a study trip to Rome and Willem Hellemons received permission from the bishop, construction started in 1865. It was not until 1880 that the nave was completed. But that doesn't mean the church is finished. On the contrary.
