Late neogotische kerk met naoorlogse toren.

Rooms Katholieke Kerk Sint Hubertus uit 1906. De kerk verving een waterstaatskerk uit 1835. Driebeukige neogotische pseudobasiliek naar ontwerp van Caspar Franssen (1860-1932). Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog fungeerde de kerk als schuilplaats voor inwoners van Nijmegen, die door het bombardement van 1944 dakloos werden. Kort hierna leed de kerk zelf schade door beschietingen. Na de oorlog werd de kerk hersteld. De toren werd pas gebouwd in 1955. In de kerk bevindt zich een gedenkraam uit 1948, gemaakt door R. Smeets.
