Large, rectangular, modern church with a large tower. Facade on the east side; choir on the west.

In 1894, pastor PJD Wouterlood was given permission to raise funds in Amsterdam for the restoration of the church. Under the leadership of JH Tonnaer, an architect in Delft, the church was renovated and enlarged to its current length of 20.50 m'. In April, demolition and the erection of the side walls began. The altar was moved from the south side to the north side of the church, the choir in the opposite direction. The entrance was on the east side. Furthermore, the church was given a new slate roof and a tasteful turret. The work was completed in August. On 4 September 1894, the church was solemnly blessed by dean W. van der Stee of Schagen and pastor Wouterlood. The costs amounted to a total of ƒ 6,193.

Tower from 1892, architect G. (Gerard) te Riele. At the beginning of the previous century, the number of parishioners increased significantly, so that a larger church was needed.

At that time, the church had 670 seats. Due to later refurbishment of the church, 552 seats remain. In 1925, the three stained glass windows were installed in the chancel and the tiled floor was replaced by the terrazzo floor from Monasso.

The chapel is preceded by a projecting portal under a saddle roof with a wide overhang, covered with slates in Maasdekking. A semi-circular facade niche has been placed within the projecting portal, within which a two-part wooden entrance door with panels has been placed. Above the entrance door, four stones have been placed with the following inscriptions: "27/11", "14/5", "7/6", "26/8", which indicate the date of the memorial day of St. Oda and the appointment of the founder of the chapel, AJ van Erp, as pastor; the solemn raising of St. Oda's bones by Bishop Otbertus; the ordination of AJ van Erp; the consecration of the chapel on the occasion of the golden jubilee of pastor AJ van Erp. Four high round-arched windows have been placed around it, filled with stained glass windows. The eaves are decorated with masonry corbels, which support the roof construction. A wooden door has been placed in the east side of the chapel, under a slightly arched segmental arch. At the rear, a free-hanging canopy with a saddle roof has been placed, resting on projecting masonry. Under the canopy, a life-size sandstone statue has been placed on a high masonry plinth. It depicts a standing St. Oda in a pleated robe, his face turned downwards and his eyes cast down. The right hand raised in front of the chest and the left hanging freely.
