Nemerlaer Castle is situated on the edge of the Beerze stream valley, between Oisterwijk and Haaren. The castle is one of the oldest in North Brabant and was mentioned in historical sources as early as the 14th century. The name Nemerlaer supposedly refers to "no one's forest" or "no one's land," indicating that the area was once a free and undeveloped landscape. The original castle originated as a fortified house that served to protect the surrounding land and trade routes. Over the centuries, the building was expanded and modified several times. The current appearance of the castle, with its towers, moat, and surrounding park, is the result of various renovations, primarily in the 16th and 17th centuries. During the Eighty Years' War and subsequent conflicts, the castle was damaged but was repeatedly repaired. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the estate increasingly took on the character of a country estate with a park and avenues. Today, Nemerlaer Castle is a cultural and historical center that regularly hosts exhibitions, lectures, and cultural events. The estate surrounding the castle offers a peaceful walking area with mature trees, avenues, and views of the Beerze valley, bringing history and nature into close proximity.

The town hall on De Lind is a monumental building with a rich history. Originally built as a chapel for the statue of Our Lady of the Linden, it later served as the town hall. This striking building, with its characteristic stepped gable and historic appearance, is a focal point in the town center and remains the administrative heart of Oisterwijk.

The church was designed by architect H.W. Valk and built in 1927. In 1953, the tower and portal complex, which Valk designed in collaboration with his son G.H.F. Valk, was added. In 1958, three bells bearing the names Joannes, Maria, and Josef were put into use, and in 1972, a day chapel was also added.
