Dutch Reformed Church. Late Gothic village church with single-aisled nave and deep, three-sided closed choir. Heavy brick tower on the west side, decorated by series of narrow, blind niches and crowned by an eight-sided, constricted spire.

Single-nave late Gothic cruciform church with west tower and five-sided closed choir. The church is located inside the dike. Due to the dike raising, it has come to lie lower than the surroundings. In the second half of the 12th century, a tuff church was built here, consisting of a nave and a narrower choir. In the middle of the 14th century, the choir was replaced by a wider, five-sided closed choir with buttresses. After the building was destroyed between 1425 and 1428 during the Hoekse and Kabeljauwse wars, the choir was the first to be rebuilt. The 14th-century foundations were used for this. The nave was then rebuilt. The tuff stone that was still present was reused as wall cladding. At about the same time, construction of the current tower began. Around 1510, the church was enlarged to a cruciform church. The transept arms were built against the existing nave. At the end of the 18th century, the church and tower were extensively restored.
