The oldest part of the church dates from the 13th century. Internal wall remains of the single-nave church from that time still remain. The lower part of the tower dates from the 14th century, as does the Gothic choir and single chapel on the north side. The tower was possibly raised in the 15th century. The chapel on the north side was enlarged in 1717 to a complete north aisle. The nave and choir were also raised. The tower was given a classicist entrance gate. When the parish became independent in 1845, a sacristy and a baptismal chapel were added to the north side. In 1923, the neo-Gothic south aisle was added on a plinth of Kunrade stone according to plans by architect Heurkens. In 1958, the tower was restored, in 1964-'65 the rest of the church. (Source: [1]
