Neo-Gothic church, situated on a hill and therefore visible from far. Replaced an earlier church. Expansion, including a tower, 1910 after a design by J. van Gils.

This church replaced an older church that was put into use on 16 February 1858. However, after more than half a century, it was in poor condition. Hence the new construction in 1923-'24. The new church, designed by architect M. Roebbers, is a large cruciform church on a centralising floor plan, with a narrowed and lowered semi-circular apse and a high tower to the side. The whole is built in light expressionist forms. The interior is largely executed in fair-faced brickwork and the crossing is covered by a large painted brick dome. During the Second World War, the church and the parish house were damaged and the bells were stolen by the occupier. The war damage has been repaired.

Spire from 1912.The organ that JJ Vollebregt ('s-Hertogenbosch) built for this church in 1861 was given a new purpose in 1962 as a choir organ in the Cathedral Church of St. Ignatius and St. Laurentius in Rotterdam. Subsequently, in 1968, after the closure of this cathedral in 1967, this organ was reinstalled in the Kreuzherrenkirche in Düsseldorf.

In several architectural respects this church is comparable to the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of Lourdes in Bergen op Zoom, designed at almost the same time, designed by the same architects, with almost the same floor plan, but higher (church hall, tower, dome). As such typical of the late oeuvre of Joseph Cuypers (1861 - 1949) (in collaboration with his son Pierre Cuypers Jr (1891 - 1982)), in which he experimented with the cross between the people's church and the central building.

The church was built around 1400. In 1640, the church was rebuilt on the same foundations using the old parts. The pulpit and some gravestones in the church date from that time. When the population increased significantly in the 19th century due to the establishment of the Maatschappij van Weldadigheid in Frederiksoord, the church was given a side aisle in 1853, which was removed during the restoration in 1964-1967. The tower on the church was built in 1874 to replace an old double bell tower. In 1875, the monumental Van Dam organ was built. The church is located on the churchyard and is a late Gothic single-nave church built around 1400, when it did not yet have a tower. In 1842 it was enlarged with a transept in a northern direction. Above the west facade there is a roof turret. The current tower dates from 1874 and replaced the bell tower. During the restoration of 1960 and 1967, the northern extension was removed and the original appearance was restored.
