The church was originally dedicated to St. John the Evangelist, has a straight closed single-aisled nave and a large tower with two sections with diagonal buttresses, the beginning of a third section and a four-sided spire. In the 15th-century tower hangs a bell cast by Johannes Burgerhuys (1676). After the destruction of the medieval nave and choir in 1572-1574, only the nave was rebuilt in the 17th century. The church was restored in 1958 and the spire was repaired after storm damage in 1966. The church contains a pulpit with a wooden lectern (1661). A large tombstone has been built into the south wall for Philibert van Tuyll van Serooskerke († 1661), lord of the manor of Serooskerke, and Vincentia Magdalena van Swieten († 1629). There are also three early 17th-century gravestones. In the churchyard there is a relocated gravestone of PE Bland-Mathijssen († 1867) and RJ Bland († 1871). The former rectory (Torenstraat 8) is a sober neoclassical mansion with a cornice facade and was built in 1879 to replace an earlier rectory.
