Nice neo-romanesque church with saddle roof tower in Glanerbrug. Restoration second half 2000s.

The church in Molenaarsgraaf, beautifully restored in 1961, consists of a wide single-aisled nave from the first half of the 16th century and a narrower, three-sided closed choir, built around 1500. During the restoration, several traces were found of a church that must have stood there earlier. The cast-iron windows from the 19th century were replaced by brick windows during the restoration. The windows were fitted with stained glass with bronze bridge rods. The bell was made in 1710. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

Modern church with roof turret. The church was built in 1963. Replaced an earlier church building that had become too dilapidated. The church has approximately 225 seats. Over time, a new balcony was built, on which a new organ was placed. The annex was renovated twice.

In 1296, a parish in Sint Kruis was first mentioned, which was subordinate to the Ter Doest Abbey. Due to flooding, partly as a result of the Geuzen breaching the dikes in 1584 to stop the Spanish troops, the area was flooded and was not drained again until 1651. The current church building dates largely from the 14th century and initially consisted of a single-nave church with a tower. In 1467 and 1483, the church was enlarged to a three-nave church with a choir and transept. This church was badly damaged during the Dutch Revolt, but in 1652 it was restored to serve as a Reformed church building. What remained was a single-nave church with a straight-ended nave and the tower. Another renovation took place in 1872. In 1944, the church was badly damaged by war violence and was restored in 1948-1949.

On Wednesday 18 January 1950, more than 11 months after construction began, the church was put into use. Three bells are installed in the tower. This happened on 16 December 1949. These bells do not have a motto. The only inscription is the name of the bell founder "Van Bergen" and the year 1949 NHK Renkum.
