Cruciform church with roof turret in neo-Gothic forms. Built as a Reformed Church. This is now the church building of the Protestant Church (PKN) in Loenen aan de Vecht. In addition, in Loenen there is also the historic Village Church, as a Reformed Church with a Reformed Bond signature.

There used to be a church building here . There was already a small church in the 11th century. The church building from the 15th and 16th centuries, which was known for its leaning tower, was only partly used by the Reformed community. At that time, there were still remains of old frescoes in the building. On April 23, 1945, the church was destroyed by the Germans.

This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

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.

The single-nave neo-Gothic church built in 1887 with a three-sided choir closure under a saddle roof is built against the late 15th-century tower; the church and tower are strikingly situated near the Waaldijk. Built in brick and on a plinth, a four-bay long nave with buttresses cut between the windows and the sides of the choir with natural stone covering on the cutting and at the top; decorative brickwork molding under the gutter; wide lancet-shaped windows with tracery and in a frame of bright red brick and accents in natural stone; stained glass in a pointed diamond motif in green and white, along the edges of the windows strips in red and blue glass; on the roof covered with braised tiles three dormers covered with slates and provided with a piron; on the north side of the nave an extended entrance with double wooden door with fittings, set in a bright red brick frame; there also, the consistory room built against the tower under a hipped saddle roof with dormer; in the consistory room large windows with cross-bar division and slightly recessed round-arched fields above; the frame of the fields and the window styles in bright red stone; on the south side of the tower a mortuary house. In the interior a wooden barrel vault with tie rods and on cove, the ribs resting on consoles with decorative carvings; hexagonal pulpit and rear bulkhead with Gothic decorations from 1864, organ balcony on three simple wooden columns; wainscoting, gentlemen's pews and general pew plan made of wood; two late 19th-century psalm and hymn boards; two twelve-arm copper crowns from the construction period with tronies on the inside. At the entrance to the church two memorial stones from 1849 and 1887. Intact single-manual organ, made in 1857 by H. Knipscheer from Amsterdam. The neo-Gothic village church, built in 1887, is of cultural and architectural-historical value due to its location and the intactness of its interior and exterior, so that protection as a national monument is justified.
