De Romboutstoren is een van de restanten van de oorspronkelijke hoofdkerk van Neerandel. Deze laatgotische kerktoren gebouwd door de katholieke gemeenschap bestaat uit drie geledingen met spitsboognissen. Op de toren staat een ranke achtkantige bakstenen spits. De toren is gerestaureerd in 1954. De toren van Andel is de enige nog bestaande kerktoren in Noord-Brabant met een bakstenen spits. De andere stond in Alphen, maar is opgeblazen door de Duitse bezetter gedurende de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

The Rombout Tower is one of the remnants of Neerandel's original main church. This late Gothic church tower built by the Catholic community consists of three sections with pointed arch niches. A slender octagonal brick spire stands on top of the tower. The tower was restored in 1954. The tower of Andel is the only surviving church tower in North Brabant with a brick spire. The other was in Alphen, but was blown up by the German occupier during the Second World War.
