In the years 1881-1884 the firm Ibach built an organ for the Reformed Church in Rhenoy. The instrument was built in the church by Adrianus van Ingen. Upon completion the Gemshorn 8' and the Trumpet of the Main Work were reserved. These were never installed again. In 1950 the firm De Koff & Zn. carried out a revision. They placed the third choir of the Sesquialter as an independent register on the reserved slide of the Trumpet 8'. The firm SF Blank restored the organ in 1990. The Sesquialter was restored. The slide of the Trumpet remained unoccupied.

Built to replace the predecessor of this church, which was demolished in 1939. There is a whale on the tower of the church. This whale is a reminder of whaling, which was an important source of income for the village in earlier centuries. The bell from 1388 - elsewhere incorrectly mentioned as originating from Krimpen aan den IJssel - was damaged in 1940 and could no longer ring. The municipal authorities wanted to melt down the bell, but historians put a stop to that. The bell ended up in the Gouda museum, the Catharina Gasthuis. It has since been decided that the bell will return to Krimpen. The current bell was made in 1962 by Van Bergen in Heiligerlee.
