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.
