This was a remarkable church without a tower. Originally built as a single-nave neo-Gothic church. Modernised and expanded in 1962-1964. The monastery with church was built in 1908 in the then village of Brakkenstein near Nijmegen. The land was donated by the baron of the Brakkesteyn estate. Architect HC van de Leur was commissioned in 1962 to build a new monastery complex and expand the church. He did the latter by designing a new church around the old church, with a spacious chancel. The old neo-Gothic outer walls then formed the pillars in the nave of the church. The monastery also had its own small chapel. The last Holy Mass was held in the church on 14 June 2009. The complex has been demolished. A smaller church was built on this site for the parish of the Holy Sacrament, which was put into use in 2011.

At the beginning of the 14th Century a small hall church was initially erected. In order to defeat the many attacks the chancel is heightened and provided with machicoulis at the beginning of the 16th century. At the end of the same century, a wall boasting four defensive towers oriented towards the four cardinal points surround the church. The first floor of the bell tower was habitable, equipped with a smoke funnel. The second floor has small bays on every corner, each having three embrasures, a construction detail that can be found in Thuringia, Germany. Very interesting to visit is the gate tower, a massive structure on 5 levels, three of them equipped with defensive systems and a parapet walk on the highest level.

Probably built at the turn of the 13th century, the chruch boasts frescos in the style of Albertus Pictor, the most famous late medieval Swedish painter. Church was later enlarged in the 15th and 17th century when the frescos were covered with whitewash.

Built for the local inhabitants in the 13th century, the church became too small and the Alnön new church was built nearby. Inside the old church, there are 15th century frescos. The original wooden baptismal font was however moved to the new church.

Probably rebuilt from a wooden church predating to the 13th century, the place of worship went through several renovations over the course of its history. In 1910-11, the church was redecorated internally with paintings in Art Nouveau style by architect Sigurd Curman.
