==Notable buildings== * [[Neo-Gothic]] ''{{ill|Sint Martinus Kerk (Sint-Oedenrode)|nl|Sint-Martinuskerk (Sint-Oedenrode)|lt=Sint Martinus Kerk}}'' ([[Martin of Tours|Saint Martin]] Church) from 1915. This is on the site of the old [[Oda of Brabant|Oda]] Church. This was a Romanesque style [[basilica]] from the 11th century. It stood near the castle of Rode. In 1494 this church was expanded with a Gothic choir with a continuous light-colored horizontal strip of tuff stone, between the normal layer of bricks. It was a [[Chapter (religion)|chapter]] church where nine [[secular]] [[Canon (priest)|canon]]s lived. The chapter existed until 1648. In 1801 the tower collapsed, and the church was demolished to be replaced by a new building, the Saint Martin's church, which was consecrated in 1808. In 1807 the new church was built on the foundations of the original church. In 1915 the new church was replaced by the present church, which was designed by [[W.Th. Aalst]]. It has been restored from 1995 - 1997. The choir from 1498 is still intact and is a national monument. The church is the presumed to be the tomb of Hildeware, Countess of Rode, from 1507. This was the foundress of the first church. There are some [[Baroque]] paintings and a [[Baptismal font|font]] in the interior from the 12th century. There is also an organ of 1839, produced by [[Frans Smits]]. This was restored in 2001.{{citation needed|date=November 2013}} <!-- Did the newer church replace the older one or did it replace only parts, incorporating older parts? --> * ''Martinus Cemetery'' from 1854. The Oda chapel is set on the famous "Odabergje", in the legend the place where the Holy [[Oda of Brabant]] settled in the early Middle Ages.{{citation needed|date=November 2013}} * The ''[[Knoptoren]]''. The old [[Eerschot]] church served since 1648 as a Protestant church. In 1800 the tower, dating from around 1400, lost its steeple. In the past the tombs of the Lords of the castle [[De Laar]] were located in this church.{{citation needed|date=November 2013}} * The ''Sint Paulusgasthuis'' ([[St. Paul]]'s [[Hospice]]) dates from 1434. The plaque, which indicates the wrong year 1546, was only applied in 1926. The characteristic white houses were inhabited until 1972 by poor single women of good character. Also the museum for Brabantic hats and [[poffer]]s is located in the small house. * ''[[Henkenshage]]''. A former fortified farmhouse, which was known in the 14th century as Strijpe or Streepe. This was bought in 1850 by Peter Jacob Girard de Mielet van Coehoorn and was given its present form as a country stay. In fact, the building is therefore not a real castle, but a country house. During WWII it was used as a distribution centre and during the liberation of Holland ([[Operation Market Garden]]) in 1944 it was the headquarters of the US [[101st Airborne Division]]. It is now known as Kasteel Henkenshage and is a Wedding and Function Centre.{{citation needed|date=November 2013}} * ''[[Castle Dommelrode]]'' is a former castle, which was built in 1605 by the sheriff of the [[Peelland]] quarter. It has long been a monastery, but today it serves as the municipal hall of Sint-Oedenrode.{{citation needed|date=November 2013}} * ''De Grote Laar'' is a farmstead that exist since 1360. The well belonged to the castle De Laar, which has long since disappeared.{{citation needed|date=November 2013}} * '''De Markt''' is a tapered, more or less square market area with a bandstand, which is partly surrounded by stately mansions, including: ** '''Het Oude Raadhuis''' (The Old Town Hall), built in 1863 as a mansion for J.G. Raup and bought in 1881 by the municipality, after the old town hall from 1691, which was at the center of the market square, was demolished. There was a balcony and a tower built, but it was abandoned in 1963 as the town council moved to [[Castle Dommelrode]]. At the back of the house is a coach house including a 14th-century cellar, from the former house "Ten Kelre". In the sidewall there are a number of plaques, including those of the 2nd Regiment [[Hussar]]s that was stationed in Sint-Oedenrode because of the mobilization during [[World War I]], including a number of ''Horse Doctors of the 1st and 2nd class''. In 1939 this regiment was again stationed in the town. There is also a memorial of the [[101st Airborne Division]], made in 1985.{{citation needed|date=November 2013}} * The '''Giant Clog''', located in the Dommel park on the Corridor, is a reminder that Sint-Oedenrode was the centre of the clompen industry. This Clog was originally made of wood but due to vandalism has been remade in concrete.{{citation needed|date=November 2013}} * '''Coöperatieve Zuivelfabriek Sint-Oda''' is a building by [[Louis Kooken]] from 1916 and was a butter factory with steam engine, which has been in use till 1979.
