Museum de Vier Quartieren
Museum de Vier Quartieren
Behind the basilica is Museum de Vier Quartieren. It is housed in a monumental building, a distinguished canon house from the late Middle Ages.
To the museum
For centuries rich lords, clergy, architects, farmers, citizens and artists have left their mark on Oirschot. It’s impossible not to stumble across monuments, monasteries, estates and other places of interest. The Roman ‘Butterchurch’ on the Vrijthof has stood there since the 12th century. The imposing basilica of Saint Peter and the old townhall on the market square remind us of the times when Oirschot was the capitol of the Kempen region of Brabant.

Spot on the monument ...
Each monument has its own history. Here we put the spotlight on the history of the mock aircraft. A special story, this modest but special military heritage site reminds us of the occupation in June 1940. Then a 'false airfield' was built near the Oirschotseweg.
