The older Reformed Church of Ochten was destroyed in the fall of 1944 during the Battle of the Betuwe. The current church building dates from the 1950s, and is a typical example of Protestant church building from the reconstruction period, influenced by traditionalism, and as such a very important reconstruction church. In the tower hangs a bell by Peter van Johan van Trier, 1643. At the end of 2017, the Cuypersgenootschap submitted a request for recognition as a Municipal Monument.
