Shortly after the embankment of 1364, Mastenbroek became an independent parish. At the same time, probably between 1364 and 1369, the church was built. The church was dedicated to Onze Lieve Vrouwe ter Zon. The church building was repeatedly restored and renovated, for example after a fire in 1647, of which renovation one of the inscriptions at the entrance still reminds us. The choir (1531) of the late Gothic single-nave building is somewhat narrower than the nave (1647). The tower was replaced by a new one in 1845.

In 1930, the Dutch Reformed Church of Hulst took the current hall church with saddle roof tower on the Houtmarkt into use. The pulpit, pew, choir screens and chandeliers were moved from the current Roman Catholic Basilica of St. Willibrordus, which is diagonally opposite the Reformed Church. Before 1930, the Dutch Reformed Church held church services in the Basilica at the same time as the Roman Catholic Church. At the time, a wall was built into it, which separated the two denominations. They also both had their own bell. After the Reformed Church took their current church into use in 1930, the basilica was returned in its entirety to the Roman Catholic Church.
