Both architecturally and historically (hiding place for Jews in 1940-1945) an extremely important church. Built as a Reformed Church. Large and very important church building with a large tower, with an elegant spire, close to the Roman Catholic Church of the Holy Cross, which also has a tower. In terms of urban development, these two church towers form a beautiful and extremely important ensemble on either side of this busy intersection, in the otherwise fairly church tower-poor Rotterdam-South. From 1980 to (±) early 2010s, church services were held every 2 weeks, one Sunday in the Breepleinkerk and the other Sunday in the NH Vredeskerk in Vreewijk. Since January 2008, the Reformed Church of Rotterdam-South and the Reformed parish of Vreewijk-Hillesluis have been part of the Protestant parish of Rotterdam-South. Since (±) the beginning of 2010, the church services of this parish of the PKN have only taken place in the Vredeskerk, Lede 117. And since then, the Pentecostal and Evangelical Church "Het Levende Woord" has held its services in the Breepleinkerk on Sunday mornings.
Built as a Reformed Church. Architecturally very important interbellum church with tower. Later church of the Samen-Op-Weg Community. Decommissioned as a church of the PKN in 2005. Since 2005 in use as a Serbian Orthodox Church. (Serbian Orthodox parish of the Holy Trinity) The interior has since been decorated with many icons. The original spatial effect of the church hall is almost completely intact.
The church is built in the same style as the residential strips: constructed of brick, completely plastered white on a low, anthracite-coloured plinth, on a rectangular base, flat-roofed and provided with lower, cube-shaped extensions.
