In 1867, the current neoclassical church building was built against the remaining tower to replace the associated medieval church.

In 1296, a parish in Sint Kruis was first mentioned, which was subordinate to the Ter Doest Abbey. Due to flooding, partly as a result of the Geuzen breaching the dikes in 1584 to stop the Spanish troops, the area was flooded and was not drained again until 1651. The current church building dates largely from the 14th century and initially consisted of a single-nave church with a tower. In 1467 and 1483, the church was enlarged to a three-nave church with a choir and transept. This church was badly damaged during the Dutch Revolt, but in 1652 it was restored to serve as a Reformed church building. What remained was a single-nave church with a straight-ended nave and the tower. Another renovation took place in 1872. In 1944, the church was badly damaged by war violence and was restored in 1948-1949.

Single-nave village church with early 14th century nave without buttresses, simple, brick tower from probably the same period with a corbelling on arch frieze and slender spire at the height of the church and a deep, buttressed with three-sided closure. The nave, raised in 1865, has a 19th century cove ceiling. The church is completely plastered on the outside. In the choir good 17th century furniture: panelling and benches with lobe ornament within the arches surrounded by acanthus leafwork, well-carved pulpit and simple, sliding gentlemen's benches against the straight sides of the choir. The church also has two copper chandeliers in 17th century style. Mechanical tower clock, has been decommissioned. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

The church dates from the second half of the 15th century and was originally connected to the tower. At that time, the building had the tower, a low nave and a high choir. Around 1592, part of the nave was destroyed (siege of Coevorden). The remaining part of the nave was brought to the same height as the choir in 1628 and the west facade was then bricked up. Since then, the church and tower have been separated. Of the Gothic church, only the ruined eastern part and the freestanding tower (ca. 1450 - 1500) remain. The nave is said to have collapsed during the Eighty Years' War - or was the church never finished due to lack of money? When the church was plastered in 1862, the furniture, including two 17th century pews, remained reasonably intact. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

The former reformed church of Tijnje is a simple hall church without a tower built around 1890 or in 1907-1908: the exact year of complete construction is not clear. The straight-closed church building was originally built of brown brick, but the walls were all plastered at a later stage.

In 1886 built a straight-closed hall church with one transept and a facade tower, crowned by a constricted spire. The consistory built on to the rear was built in 1913. Simple traditional interior with pulpit and baptismal garden opposite the transept.
