The single-nave neo-Gothic church built in 1887 with a three-sided choir closure under a saddle roof is built against the late 15th-century tower; the church and tower are strikingly situated near the Waaldijk. Built in brick and on a plinth, a four-bay long nave with buttresses cut between the windows and the sides of the choir with natural stone covering on the cutting and at the top; decorative brickwork molding under the gutter; wide lancet-shaped windows with tracery and in a frame of bright red brick and accents in natural stone; stained glass in a pointed diamond motif in green and white, along the edges of the windows strips in red and blue glass; on the roof covered with braised tiles three dormers covered with slates and provided with a piron; on the north side of the nave an extended entrance with double wooden door with fittings, set in a bright red brick frame; there also, the consistory room built against the tower under a hipped saddle roof with dormer; in the consistory room large windows with cross-bar division and slightly recessed round-arched fields above; the frame of the fields and the window styles in bright red stone; on the south side of the tower a mortuary house. In the interior a wooden barrel vault with tie rods and on cove, the ribs resting on consoles with decorative carvings; hexagonal pulpit and rear bulkhead with Gothic decorations from 1864, organ balcony on three simple wooden columns; wainscoting, gentlemen's pews and general pew plan made of wood; two late 19th-century psalm and hymn boards; two twelve-arm copper crowns from the construction period with tronies on the inside. At the entrance to the church two memorial stones from 1849 and 1887. Intact single-manual organ, made in 1857 by H. Knipscheer from Amsterdam. The neo-Gothic village church, built in 1887, is of cultural and architectural-historical value due to its location and the intactness of its interior and exterior, so that protection as a national monument is justified.
