The choir was originally smaller than it is today, and the windows in the south wall were enlarged and added in the 17th century. In 1940, the church was restored and the gallery on the north wall was removed and replaced by a two-storey gallery on the west wall.

The chapel occasionally houses the famous Viennese Court Music Orchestra.

The Hoff church is a Romanesque brick church dedicated to the apostle Andrew. It was built of local cut sandstone, probably at the end of the 12th century. Originally, the church was in the form of a basilica with two longitudinal rows of columns that divided the church hall into three naves, the middle one having a higher ceiling than the naves. The tower, which rose above the centre of the roof, had as its foundations the choir wall and the first pair of pillars. The church burned down around 1500 and 1700. After the last fire, the church was heavily rebuilt and took the shape it has today.

This movement within the Dutch Reformed Church joined the merger into the Protestant Church in the Netherlands in 2004. In Doetinchem, this group is fully part of the Protestant community. Here, it has the status of a district community: the Hofkerk community.

This originally Reformed church was built in 1711. This can still be read on the memorial stone above the entrance that the carpenter donated to the church. On both sides of this memorial stone are four coats of arms stones, and coats of arms stones are also built into the round arch above the entrance. The entire door is covered with large nails on the outside as protection against the axes of possible intruders. In 1966, the tower was renovated. In the church there is a beautiful pew (17th and 18th century) with a coat of arms supported by two unicorns on the canopy.
