The church consists of a 13-15th century nave and 15th century tower (mon.nr 12330) with a neo-Gothic eastern extension designed in 1912 by architect Wolter te Riele Gzn. The extension of the St. Nicholas Church is an exemplary example of Wolter te Riele's attempts to find a synthesis between a basilica and a central building. He shared this aim with Joseph Cuypers and Jan Stuyt. The church contains stained glass windows from 1912 by Frans Nicolas and sons Charles and Francois, from 1953 by Joep Nicolas, from 1963 by Sylvia Nicolas and from 1977 by Jan Schoenaker.
