As a 'building pastor', Hellemons not only looked at architecture in Rome. He also brought the example of the
'congregations' with them. Congregations were a new kind of community of brothers or sisters at that time. They were concerned with caring for the poor and education. Thanks to Hellemons, Oudenbosch became known throughout the Netherlands as an educational centre. And known for its domed church, a huge building for such a small village, to which local people and entrepreneurs also contributed a lot. The guides at the Basilica are happy to tell you all about this
monument and its history. In Basilica Square, you will also see the monument to the Zouaves; these are soldiers who defended Vatican territory. You can see a Zouave receiving the blessing of Pope Pius the 9th.
See more: the architectural style of famous architect Pierre Cuypers can also be admired in nearby Hoeven.
There you can see the Seminary Bovendonk. Now a beautiful hotel and conference venue.

It cannot be missed, the immense basilica. The dome
\nresembles that of the famous St Peter's. The front is
\ninspired by the fa\u00e7ade of St John of Lateran,
\nanother famous church in Rome. Looking at the Basilica
\nof Oudenbosch then you are looking at Rome. This one here is as much as 16
\ntimes smaller than world-famous St Peter's. With large
\neyes to Rome, so did the founders of this church
\nfor that matter. The Rome of the popes was the source of
\ninspiration for Oudenbosch parish priest Willem Hellemons.
\nThe renowned Pierre Cuypers was commissioned for the
\ndesign of the basilica. <\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":52599,"template":"","soort_route":[],"class_list":["post-5609","routes","type-routes","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nBasiliek van de H.H.
