To replace its medieval church the St. Brigida, which was returned to the catholics in 1798 in a ruinous state and despite a 25 years lasting restoration was demolished in 1887, architect Carl Weber was commissioned to design a new church. It's would be his fourth dome-church. Like the St. Bavo in Raamsdonk it is a large three-aisled cruciform basilican church in neo-Romanogothic style with a cloverleaf-shaped eastern part and an octagonal dome on the crossing. The two towers at the front were not added until 1895 and ironically were inspired by those Weber's rival P.J.H. Cuypers had designed for the Munsterkerk in Roermond, while a few elements remind of the tower of the old church as well. In the interior bricks in several different colours were used.
