Neo-church with roof turret. The predecessor of the church dated from the 15th century and was demolished in 1895. After that, a temporary wooden church was in use from 1895 to 1900, which was replaced in 1900 by the current Reformed Church.

In its current form, the church of Engelum is a three-sided closed hall church with a tower of three sections with a constricted spire. The tower, which is not accessible from the church, was sheathed in 1887 and is said to still have thirteenth-century masonry from the original church. According to the memorial stone in the south wall of the tower (inv. no. 16), the rest of the church was also renovated in 1887. Incidentally, the nave and choir were said to have been rebuilt in 1773.
