Built as a Reformed church. Interesting modern church with tower.

Late neo-Gothic church with tower. This church replaced a neo-church from 1859 that had become too small, the "Oude Kerk" (Old Church) that was demolished in 1930. The original name of this interbellum church with tower was "Dorpskerk". Later, probably in the context of "Samen op Weg", the church name was changed to "Kruiskerk".

Dutch Reformed Church, called Kruiskerk, with attached consistory and youth building, built in 1957-1963 by order of the Church Council of the Dutch Reformed Community of Klazienaveen to a design by the Amsterdam architect H. Knijtijzer. The church's bell tower is situated in a defining position in the axis of the Van Echtenstraat. In 1955 Knijtijzer had designed the Dutch Reformed school and in 1957 the youth building. In 1959 Knijtijzer complemented the composition of school, youth building with the church. In 1966 the school had plans to expand. However, the school board found it unnecessary to bring in an architect from Amsterdam for a small expansion and asked the local architect J. van de Heiden. Knijtijzer did not agree with the design.

In the sixties, the current church was built to a design by architect G. Steen from 1960. The new construction took place on the grounds of the old school. The work was carried out by construction company H. Westra from Franeker. The building was finally completed in 1966 under the architecture of the architectural firm Steen en Tuinhof. An illuminated cross was placed on the tower. On 31 January 1969, the renovated organ was put into use. In 1969-70, a new rectory was also built. In 1972, the building of the nursery school next to the church and the associated grounds were purchased. A parking lot was constructed on the grounds, while the building itself was rented to a music association. This situation still exists today. In 1986, major maintenance was carried out on both the church and the rectory. The remarkable elevator in the building, which connects the meeting rooms and canteen downstairs with the church hall upstairs, was installed at the end of the eighties.
