Important modern church with tower. Part of the Titus Brandsma Parish.

Architecturally important church building with a small bell tower, containing ten small bells. Built as the Reformed Resurrection Church in the Rotterdam expansion district of Alexanderpolder to a design by the architects Willem and Ben Lengkeek.

The church was built on the orders of Louis XV who wanted to provide the so-called "Parc aux cerfs" district with a place of worship. A first temporary church was completed in 1727 and then in 1743, the first stone was laid. The construction was carried out under the direction of the architect Jacques Hardouin-Mansart, known as Mansart de Sagonne, grandson of the famous architect of Louis XIV. The building was completed in 1754. Ten years later, the architect J.F. Trouard built a chapel for catechism. It takes the name of the chapel "du Charnier" since it is there that the bodies of the deceased of the castle awaited their funeral. The organs of Clicquot were installed in 1760.

Dutch Reformed Church. Simple hall church built in 1661 with arched windows and a tiled hipped roof all around. Slender brick tower, the upper part decorated with three round-arched niches in each facade and crowned by an octagonal wooden bell dome.

The inventory includes a pulpit with a copper lectern, a baptismal fence with a precentor's lectern and four oak gentlemen's pews, all from the period of construction. A carved organ case, made in 1786 by J. Courtain for the Lutheran Church in Arnhem. Several 17th century gravestones.
