Historical church with roof turret, Originally a Gothic church building, now consisting only of a single-aisled nave of seven bays, with a wooden roof turret on the ridge and an extended portal against the east facade.

Oak pulpit from the 17th century. Single manual organ, made in 1861 by W. Hardorff. Mechanical tower clock G. de Looze, Leeuwarden, 1894. Churchyard.

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.

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 1575, the previous church was largely destroyed by fire. The nave of this church was rebuilt in its original state. The ruins of the choir were never restored. The church was severely damaged by salt water during the flood disaster of 1953. After the disaster, the church was thoroughly restored. The tower was straightened. On 17 July 1958, a new organ was put into use. Because the salt water had penetrated deep into the walls, the plaster layer of the walls regularly came loose. The inside of the walls was thoroughly restored in 1997. A new layer of plaster was applied, which means that the problem of the walls coming loose will probably be a thing of the past. The church is called Sint-Alardskerk.

Last restoration in 1991 (by Blank). Mechanical wrought-iron tower clock. A natural stone round dial.
