The church is part of a complex; until 1976 the monastery complex of the Oblate Fathers, from 1976 the Penitentiary Institution "Ter Peel". The church is situated in a park-like (monastery) garden, vegetable garden and (formerly) orchards, according to the design of landscape architects Van Loo from Terwinselen (1947). Only the entrance to the church has remained outside the fences of the penitentiary institution.

In several respects exceptionally original and important "reconstruction church", influenced in design by the Delft School (traditionalism), with references to early Christian church architecture. Front facade with a high, shallow wall; even higher wide, shallow bell tower above the choir. In the bell tower hang, in 4 separate niches, 4 church bells, all 4 of which are rung for church services. Rich detailing with various side chapels. In the choir are 2 important older stained glass windows. Redesign and/or reduction of pew plan in around 2007, whereby the original spatial effect has remained completely intact. The organ is now placed at the front right, at the choir side, instead of above the entrance to the church.
