Dutch Reformed Church. Tower exterior tuff stone circa 15th century. Single-nave nave and choir (15th century).

The church was built in 1860 (see the facade stone in the left side wall). Since then, the front facade has not been changed, but the windows in the side walls, which illuminate the service rooms, have. These were renewed in the 1930s, but the old situation can still be recognized. The two diagonally placed closing sides also have renewed windows that were probably installed in the 1930s. The interior will have been renovated in the same period. The current wooden vault shows the characteristics of that period (1930s character). What the original vault looked like can no longer be determined.

Built on the site of a church building from 1646. This previous church building was demolished due to dilapidation. In 1900 the current church was completed. There are plans to decommission the church by 2025 at the latest by the Protestant Community Phiipinne-Sas of Gent-Sluiskil, which this church is part of, together with another church in Sluiskil due to the high costs of renovating the church. The church is also used as a daycare center.

The tower dates from 1900. In the church there is a pulpit from 1760, originating from the old church. On 1 January 2015 a large fire raged in this church. After this fire, in consultation with the RCE, among others, the church was "rebuilt". This reconstruction actually involved an almost completely new construction .
