Built as a Reformed Church. Now a church of the Protestant Community of Gastel and Kruisland. A classicist hall church in the so-called Waterstaat style. It dates from 1811 and is a gift from King Louis Napoleon. After a restoration in 1960, the church was restored again in 2000. In addition to the renovation of the exterior, which was carried out by contractor Van Agtmaal, the interior was tackled by the Gastelse former furniture maker Van der Zee, who refurbished the pews and made a new pulpit and cross. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

This whale is a reminder of whaling, which was an important source of income for the village in earlier centuries. The bell from 1388 - elsewhere incorrectly mentioned as originating from Krimpen aan den IJssel - was damaged in 1940 and could no longer ring. The municipal authorities wanted to melt down the bell, but historians put a stop to that. The bell ended up in the Gouda museum, the Catharina Gasthuis. It has since been decided that the bell will return to Krimpen. The current bell was made in 1962 by Van Bergen in Heiligerlee.
