• The church has undergone several renovations and restorations over the years to maintain its historic integrity.
• It features stunning stained-glass windows that illuminate the interior.
• The bell tower stands tall at the entrance, serving as a prominent feature of the church's architecture and likely plays an important role in the church's liturgical practices.

Although there is no available information on the architect who designed the church, it remains a significant landmark in the heart of Zaandam, making it a prominent feature for locals and visitors alike.

1. The church has a unique history as De Oudkatholieke schuilkerk Heilige Maria-Magdalena.
2. The building is a type of schuurkerk and has been a rijksmonument since May 29, 1969.
3. Initially, it served as the location for Oud-Katholiek gebedshuis until the Nicolaaskerk in Krommenie took over this function in 1970.

The churchgebouw in Zaandam retained its original function as a kirkgebouw due to Basisgemeente Ecclesia's occasional use of it every three weeks. In 2016, Mattheüskerk Zaanstreek began holding services on other Sundays. Since October 3, 2019, the church has been renamed Muziekhaven and serves as a centrum for kamermuziek where musicians can rehearse. Despite this new function, kirkdiensten are still held every Sunday.
