Basilica of Saint John, Gothic church in Oosterhout, Netherlands

The Basilica of Saint John features a five-nave structure with brick columns adorned with natural stone layers and ribbed vaults in the choir section.

The initial construction of this Gothic cross church began in 1475, with its tower dating from 1519, while architects Cuypers and Langelaar expanded it in 1882.

The church received its basilica status from Pope Paul VI in 1977, marking 700 years of parish existence in the community of Oosterhout.

Located at Markt 17 in Oosterhout, the Basilica functions as both an active church and a national monument open to visitors throughout the year.

The church tower, transferred to municipal ownership in 1959 for one guilder, contains stained glass windows depicting scenes from Oosterhout's history.
