The church, dedicated to Agios Georgios, is located in the centre of the original settlement area. It was built in 1950. After 1974, the church was converted into a mosque and used as such until around 2016. At that time, a new mosque had been built in the village. The church building has been left to its own devices since then.

The Panagia Evangelistria Chapel is located approx. 700 m west of the village centre at the top of the hill, overlooking the area. The building itself is in a fair condition. But all doors and windows as well as the bell were removed. The interior is empty and in a poor condition.

Community founded around 1900, by members who withdrew from the Reformed Church. In 1903, a church building on the Noordstraat was occupied. This church building was expanded with a gallery in 1947. Because the growth of the church community continued, it was decided in 1952 to build a new building. On Friday 4 September 1953, the church building with 212 seats was put into use. Rev. W. de Wit led a special church service. He preached based on 2 Chronicles 7 verse 5b: "Thus the king and all the people have dedicated the house of God." Due to the growth in the number of tourists attending church services, the church building was expanded with a hall in 1972. 300 seats. In 1984, the organ was restored. Parts from the organ of the 'Vredekerk' in Katwijk aan Zee were used for this purpose.

After the Secession of 1834, there were also people in Rilland who no longer wished to remain members of the Dutch Reformed Church. They then held meetings in various places. Around 1865, the congregation in Rilland was instituted. After meeting in homes and farms for many years, the congregation acquired its own building in 1875. It was a former school building on the corner of Adriaan Butijnweg and Valckenisseweg. After the congregation grew and no expansion was possible, a piece of land was purchased in 1889 at Zandbaan (the current Swaanhilstraat) to build a new church building there. In 1928, the church building was expanded with a consistory room. In 1952, a gallery was added to the church building. In 1957, the front facade of the church building was renovated. In 1965, new pews were installed in the church building, while in 1969 the pulpit and lectern were renovated.

Community that emerged around 1932 from the Old Reformed Community of Rev. L. Boone. After initially meeting in a home, church services were soon moved to café De Kroon in the Voorstraat. In 1939, it was decided to build a new church building in the Voorstraat on the site of two homes. The church building was already put into use on 7 July 1939. The number of seats was then 134.
