The history of the current St. Antonius Church in Kortenhoef begins on March 28, 1879, the date of the letter in which the Archbishop of Utrecht, Mgr. Schaepman, authorized the church board to tender the construction of a new church and parsonage. The church had to be built according to the drawing and specifications that architect Alfred Tepe in Utrecht had presented to the Archbishop. The church had to replace a barn church from 1810 (formerly a coach house). It became a neo-Gothic hall church with a tower, which would be provided with diagonal buttresses and four niches in each facade surface of the bell floor.

The main naves are covered by net vaults. Front tower with balustrade, corner turrets and spire. The inventory and glazing date largely from the construction period and shortly thereafter. This church is listed as a Municipal Monument of the Netherlands.

Characteristic small neo-Romanesque hall church with tower next to the choir, designed by Jos. Margry (1888-1982). Church, parish and the development village were founded at the beginning of the twentieth century. The church was restored in 2005. Until the arrival of a church, residents of Loosbroek were dependent on the church in Heeswijk. In 1898, chaplain De Groot was commissioned by Bishop Wilhelmus van de Ven to establish a parish and a church. After acquiring land from residents of Heeswijk Castle, a temporary church was built in the village that same year, which had to be rebuilt again in 1902 due to its poor condition. In the same year, construction began on a full-fledged church designed by architect Jos Margry. To finance the construction, the parish received a donation from the Antoniusfonds, whereby the church had to be dedicated to Antonius van Padua. The church was consecrated in 1912. The church is built as a hall church and has neo-Romanesque elements. The church tower, with an octagonal spire between four gables, stands next to the nave of the church. In the side gable are placed round windows with bifora underneath. Behind the church is the parsonage. In the church is a relic of Saint Donatus and an attempt was made to make the church a small place of pilgrimage. Donatus also appears in statues and candles in the church.

The neo-Romanesque St. Antonius Church, as we know it today, was built in 1873-1875 as a replacement for the former barn church. The church was consecrated on 12 September 1875. At the end of the Second World War, the 63 m tower was blown up by the Germans, a large part of the church was destroyed. The church was then rebuilt in 1948 in neo-Romanesque style, without a tower. In the church there is a model of the church in all its glory, with the tower as it was the landmark of Lepelstraat until October 1944.

The church originated from a clandestine church . This was served by Franciscan fathers and was located from 1641 at the back of the current church in the house "Moyses" on the Jodenbreestraat , where a statue of Moses hung on the facade. In 1682, the adjacent house "Aäron" ( Aäron ) was also purchased by Dr. Johannes de Vroom, a physician from Breda.
