Lambertus Church
The current church was built to replace the medieval Lambertus Church of Veghel. This predecessor had passed into Reformed hands during the Reformation in 1648. The old church was built in Gothic style. Inside the building were noble tombs, including the tomb of the Van Erp family, who owned the lordships of Veghel and Erp. The church is already mentioned in 1461, when a new tower was built. In 1757, that spire was destroyed by a severe thunderstorm. The old town hall, which stood north of the tower, was also badly damaged. Since the parish church was far too large for the small number of Reformed believers in Veghel, the nave was used in the 18th century as a storage space for the municipal fire engines and as a cooperage.
Zuid-Willemsvaart Canal
This historic canal once played an important role in trade and transport. Today it is a peaceful place for walking and cycling.
Selimiye Mosque
In the 1980s, the Turkish and Moroccan Muslim communities were looking for a suitable place of worship. At the time, the community mainly consisted of migrant workers who wanted to have their own prayer space. The neo-Gothic Roman Catholic Congregation Chapel, designed by the Dutch architect Pierre Cuypers, had stood vacant for years and was even threatened with demolition. In 1980, the Selimiye Mosque in Veghel opened its doors in this monumental building.
