This Gothic church was built in 1473. The tower was later placed in front of it from 1519 to 1552.

The Catholic St. John's Basilica on the Markt in Oosterhout is a three-aisled Gothic cruciform church dating from the second half of the 15th century (around 1475), flanked by a second aisle dating from 1882. The current tower dates from the 16th century. The church was built on the remains of a much older tuff stone church, likely constructed between 1000 and 1100.

In 1625, during the Eighty Years' War, much of the church and the tower's woodwork were destroyed by fire during the skirmishes surrounding the Siege of Breda (1624-1625).

The church underwent several restorations between 1881 and 1883, in 1975, and most recently in 2000. The tower of this monument was transferred to the municipality in 1959 for the sum of 1 guilder (approximately €0.45).

The church is a beautiful building of exceptional archaeological and historical value. The stained-glass windows in the south aisle depict important events from Oosterhout's ecclesiastical history, and the north aisle, in the choir and transept, depict biblical scenes.

More information can be found on the St. John's Basilica website.
