The [[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] church of Zundert, dedicated to [[Trudo|Saint Trudo]], was built in 1927, and contains art treasures from the 17th century, coming from the [[St. Michael's Abbey, Antwerp|St. Michielsabdij]] in [[Antwerp]], including an original sculpture made by [[Flemish Region|Flemish]] artist [[Peter Paul Rubens]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Rubens was ook beeldhouwer: "Er is weinig bewaard, de beste beelden staan in Zundert en Sint-Joost"|url=https://www.gva.be/cnt/dmf20190705_04495259/speuren-naar-sculpturen-en-altaren-van-de-meester-weinig-bewaard-van-rubens-beelden-het-beste-staat-in-zundert-en-sint-joost|access-date=2020-08-18|website=www.gva.be|date=5 July 2019 |language=nl-BE}}</ref> These treasures consist of marble altar tables, three Alabaster sculptures, several paintings and two carved oaken confessionals.

The town hall of Zundert was built in 1830 in neoclassical style and demolished and rebuilt in the same style in 1965.

=== Windmills ===

Zundert is the home of a 17th-century windmill, called '[[De Akkermolen]]' (The Croftmill).
It is said to have been originally built in 1652. It is a standard mill, and it was built to process grain.

The mill had numerous private owners in the past, including [[stadtholder]] [[William V, Prince of Orange|Willem V]], as the Baron of Breda, who became owner in 1794. In the early 1900s the mill was owned by Wilhelmus van der Stappen.

The mill was heavily damaged in 1950, and its existence was threatened several occasions after that. The Akkermolen is currently owned by the municipality of Zundert, which bought it in 1959, the last private owners being the Herijgers family. After the mill was taken over by Zundert, it needed serious restoration, which took place in 1961. Another restoration took place in 1991, but then, the entire mill needed to be taken apart and restored.

The Akkermolen can be visited, after arranging an appointment at Akkermolenweg 15.

The town had other mills in the past, one of them was a stone-mill called "De Eendracht", which stood on Moleneind, currently known as Poteind. It burned down on 23 January 1909. The owner at the time, Jaak Theeuwis, had already lost a wooden mill in Zundert, which was blown down in the previous year of 1908. A store called "de Boerenbond" is now located on the former mills location.
