In 1952 this church was built under the architecture of JWHC Pot. At that time still without a tower due to a ban on towers immediately after the war. In 1961 the current tower was built to a design by the same architect. Given the coherence of the original interior it is very likely that this was also designed by Pot. This is a special reconstruction church: wherever possible the architect applied the principle of (anthroposophical) polygonality. This also occurs in the architecture of churches of the Christian Community. (Architect Pot also collaborated on the design of the Poldertoren in Emmeloord).
