Background information:
The 14th century church was severly damaged in the end of 1944 during the liberation of the Netherlands, and could therefore not be rebuilt. The tower could still be restored, but was thereby given a smaller, more blunt steeple. In 1953 a new church of a somewhat shorter size than the original church was built on this tower.
The consistory which is located directly behind the church, still has some façade parts of the old church. It has room for holding meetings, and a small, church-related storage. This new church and consistory have been fully restored in the autumn of 2008.
Architectural details:
The straight upright tower has no buttresses, but corner pilaster strips. Although corner pilaster strips seem more subtle, both building methods ensure the reinforcement of high walls. Just below the steeple, the corner pilaster strips are connected by an arch frieze. Beneath that; round niches with coupled round arch belfry windows.
The church has a rectangular base, with behind it a low construction (consistory). A part of the wall of the old (slightly larger) church is still recognizable in the consistory. The covered connection between the vestry and the church was used as bicycle parking. Material: flat brick with full grouting, pilaster strips.
The gable roof and steeple are covered with Dutch tiles.
