Arnoldus van Veggel, born in Alem on January the 11th 1809 as the son of an innkeeper. Van Veggel was a carpenter by profession and became an overseer during the construction of a church in Helvoirt, Noord-Brabant. From that moment on he was especially active in that province, although there are several works outside Noord-Brabant as well, of which the manor house De Schaffelaar in Barneveld (G) is probably the most important.

Van Veggel was probably a catholic himself, but he designed churches for both catholics and protestants. He worked in both neo-Classical and early neo-Gothic styles.

Van Veggel died in 's-Hertogenbosch in on December the 2nd 1876.
