Roman Catholic Church of St. Anthony Abbot. Brick building dating from the time when the church was elevated from chapel to parish church, 1477. Restored in 1834, restored, renovated and expanded in 1930-'31 by architect HC van de Leur. The following are still medieval of the church building: four bays of the nave and the tower. The nave is single-aisled and covered by cross vaults; the tower consists of three sections, the lower of which is set with lesenes and a pointed arch niche and sound holes at the top; octagonal spire. In the church an oak pulpit with steps and sounding board, first half of the 18th century. Two-manual organ by J. Vollebregt and Son from 1855.

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 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.

This Roman Catholic Church is dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua. The church building is a tall building with a short tower and a three-sided choir closure. The building was put into use in 1866. In the chancel there are two stained glass windows: one depicts Saint Anthony, the other Andreas Woutersz. van Heinenoord, one of the 19 Martyrs of Gorcum. In 2016, attention was paid to the 150th anniversary of this church. In the context of this anniversary, the stained glass windows were restored. The necessary money for this was donated in the course of 2016. This church is listed as a Municipal Monument of the Netherlands.
