This is the left side of the, in spite of it’s
truncated tower, very imposing church in the middle of Oisterwijk. All around the church you can find art-objects, but
this particular spot with the niche, is special. The lack of a tower is
somewhat glossed over by the small, onion formed, tower on the middle of the
roof. Visiting the church is rather restricted. The surrounding square of this Sint Petruskerk is
also impressive; it consists of cobblestones, which is not very “less-mobile”
friendly, but there are some parking spaces for invalids. Around the square
several shops and restaurants are found. Where this picture is taken, you are with your back
to the VVV Tourist Office (around the corner) and across from the VVV you
find the Museum “De Vier Quartieren” with a collection of the Brabant
province’s folk- and farmer’s lifestyle. Next to the VVV is the “Museumke De Poffer” with
clothing, and particularly hats, from the old days. |

On top of these museums you will find the “Museum
Kruysenhuis” which harbours the paintings of three generations Kruysen, as
well as changing exhibitions. Oirschot has many white houses, which gives the
onlooker a cheerful feeling. Close to Oirschot is the well known Safaripark De
Beekse Bergen. VVV: Sint
