The Reformed Church consists of a simple 16th century nave, rebuilt in 1611. The choir has been demolished. Interior: niches under the windows. Oak pulpit (17th century). The steeply sloping 14th century tower has three sections. On either side of the pointed arch above the entrance are niches with brick trefoils, which also appear on a frieze of the round staircase tower, the masonry of which is enlivened with glazed heads. The buttresses were probably added in the 16th century, the bell storey was raised and the entrance was changed. The stone vault in the tower has been broken out; its wall columns are provided with small capitals. Bell tower with clock by Johannes Burgerhuys, 1613, diam. 70 cm. Lower in the tower, in a clock case, is a mechanical tower clock, according to the nameplate: B. Eijsbouts, 1922, decommissioned.

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.

Dutch Reformed Church. A simple hall church from 1810, renovated in 1840. The west facade is divided by four blocked pilasters and crowned by an octagonal open bell tower. Bell frame with clock by J. Swijs, 1728, diam. 47 cm. Mechanical tower clock B. Eijsbouts, Asten, 1911.

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.

Beautifully situated church with tower from 1671. Expanded several times. Especially from the churchyard clearly visible.

Built to replace the predecessor of this church, which was demolished in 1939. There is a whale on the tower of the church. This whale is a reminder of whaling, which was an important source of income for the village in earlier centuries. The bell from 1388 - elsewhere incorrectly mentioned as originating from Krimpen aan den IJssel - was damaged in 1940 and could no longer ring. The municipal authorities wanted to melt down the bell, but historians put a stop to that. The bell ended up in the Gouda museum, the Catharina Gasthuis. It has since been decided that the bell will return to Krimpen. The current bell was made in 1962 by Van Bergen in Heiligerlee.

Reformed church. Elongated octagonal hall building from 1812, with blocked pilasters, pointed arch windows and roof turret. 17th century oak pulpit, organ from the first half of the 19th century, gravestones from 1820-1845.

In the years 1881-1884 the firm Ibach built an organ for the Reformed Church in Rhenoy. The instrument was built in the church by Adrianus van Ingen. Upon completion the Gemshorn 8' and the Trumpet of the Main Work were reserved. These were never installed again. In 1950 the firm De Koff & Zn. carried out a revision. They placed the third choir of the Sesquialter as an independent register on the reserved slide of the Trumpet 8'. The firm SF Blank restored the organ in 1990. The Sesquialter was restored. The slide of the Trumpet remained unoccupied.

In 1930, the Dutch Reformed Church of Hulst took the current hall church with saddle roof tower on the Houtmarkt into use. The pulpit, pew, choir screens and chandeliers were moved from the current Roman Catholic Basilica of St. Willibrordus, which is diagonally opposite the Reformed Church. Before 1930, the Dutch Reformed Church held church services in the Basilica at the same time as the Roman Catholic Church. At the time, a wall was built into it, which separated the two denominations. They also both had their own bell. After the Reformed Church took their current church into use in 1930, the basilica was returned in its entirety to the Roman Catholic Church.
