In 1659, construction of this church began. The Middelburg stained glass artist Cornelis Van Barlaar made three windows that were placed in the east facade (1660-1661). The oak wall paneling next to the pulpit (priest's chancel) is from the previous medieval church, as is the separation between the chairs and the garden. The copper chandelier is a gift from the local preacher Lucas Schortinghuis, late 18th century. During the liberation in 1944, the tower was destroyed. Reconstruction in a modified form took place in 1947.

Modern church with high historical tower of the previous demolished church.

The church is of architectural historical value as an authentic example of a church under water built around the middle of the nineteenth century, where the simplicity of construction and detailing is characteristic. The vault on the columns in the interior and the preserved main shape also contribute to that value. The church is part of church history, in particular the history of the reformed churches in North Holland.
