St. Anthony of Padua Cathedral, Breda

Local nameSint-Antoniuskathedraal
LocationCentrum, Breda, Netherlands

The St. Anthony of Padua Cathedral or Cathedral of St. Anthony, is the Roman Catholic cathedral of the Diocese of Breda, located in the city of Breda, in the Netherlands.

The church of Sint Antonius is a so-called waterstaatskerk, because its construction was paid largely by the government and conducted under the supervision of civil engineers. The church was built in 1837 by architect Peter Huijsers in neoclassical style, as is evident on the front façade, can be distinguished from the bottom up Doric, Ionic and Corinthian elements, while the pediment under the bell tower resembles a Greek temple.

In 1853, the church was elevated to the status of cathedral. In 1876, it was no longer a cathedral as St. Barbara's Church became the cathedral for the diocese.
