Small protestant church.

In 1575, the previous church was largely destroyed by fire. The nave of this church was rebuilt in its original state. The ruins of the choir were never restored. The church was severely damaged by salt water during the flood disaster of 1953. After the disaster, the church was thoroughly restored. The tower was straightened. On 17 July 1958, a new organ was put into use. Because the salt water had penetrated deep into the walls, the plaster layer of the walls regularly came loose. The inside of the walls was thoroughly restored in 1997. A new layer of plaster was applied, which means that the problem of the walls coming loose will probably be a thing of the past. The church is called Sint-Alardskerk.

The older Reformed Church of Ochten was destroyed in the fall of 1944 during the Battle of the Betuwe. The current church building dates from the 1950s, and is a typical example of Protestant church building from the reconstruction period, influenced by traditionalism, and as such a very important reconstruction church. In the tower hangs a bell by Peter van Johan van Trier, 1643. At the end of 2017, the Cuypersgenootschap submitted a request for recognition as a Municipal Monument.
