In 1904, the Waterstaat church was demolished to make way for a new neo-Gothic church that had been built just north of the Waterstaat church. This church was designed by Caspar Franssen. It is a neo-Gothic cruciform basilica with a crossing tower and a high entrance tower with four sections. Its colourful neo-Gothic interior has been particularly well preserved. The church contains a Pieta by the Den Bosch artist Van de Ven, who died suddenly when it was installed. When swine fever broke out in 1997, a special mass was celebrated in this church, after which various pig farmers maintained a devotion to St. Anthony Abbot.

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.
