The St. Anthony Convent of the Sisters of Charity of Schijndel was founded on December 15, 1896. The convent was built next to the home and in the garden of Antoon Jurgens and Geertrui Dekkers, who had donated their house and garden. The sisters cared for the elderly there and began providing community nursing services in 1925.
Around 1935, they also began teaching in their own school. A school was built on the side facing Lepelstraat. The convent was closed on May 25, 2005.
The building has a niche in its gable containing a statue of Saint Anthony. On the upper floor on the right, you can see the arched windows of the former chapel.
