About this building

It is a three-aisled neo-Gothic hall church with a tower that is accessed by a polygonal staircase tower. On the south side is a chapel, above which is the choir. On the outside are two gables, between which is a staircase tower.

The church has pillars with columns and cross rib vaults. It is decorated with polychromy, design and glazing according to the insights of the Bernulphus guild: altars, statues, pulpit and communion bank by F.W.Mengelberg. There is an organ with hood decoration, made in 1873 by G. Elberink. The mechanical tower clock is out of use.
