The Reformed Church of Made is a late Gothic building. The church was founded in 1511 although the building has suffered several alterations in different periods.

In 1296, a parish in Sint Kruis was first mentioned, which was subordinate to the Ter Doest Abbey. Due to flooding, partly as a result of the Geuzen breaching the dikes in 1584 to stop the Spanish troops, the area was flooded and was not drained again until 1651. The current church building dates largely from the 14th century and initially consisted of a single-nave church with a tower. In 1467 and 1483, the church was enlarged to a three-nave church with a choir and transept. This church was badly damaged during the Dutch Revolt, but in 1652 it was restored to serve as a Reformed church building. What remained was a single-nave church with a straight-ended nave and the tower. Another renovation took place in 1872. In 1944, the church was badly damaged by war violence and was restored in 1948-1949.

The polder Oud-Herkingen was probably first diked in 1420. At that time, this polder belonged to the monastery of the Regulars of Rugge in Brielle and to the Carthusian monastery in Zelem. These monasteries rented the polder to shepherds. This polder did not exist for long. In 1484, Herkingen was diked again. On 9 July of the same year, the chapel that had been built was elevated to parish church by the bishop of Utrecht, David of Burgundy. The chapel was dedicated to Saint Cornelius and was incorporated into the monastery of the Regulars of Rugge. This polder did not exist for long either, because a flood was already reported in 1511. The chapel that had been built was probably washed away. Many floods would follow in the 16th century.
