In the late 19th century, the population of Wassenaar grew so much that a new church was needed. The new church was built from 1903 under the guidance of Pastor Bruijstens, designed by architect Nicolaas Molenaar sr., in neo-Gothic style.

The church was completed in 1905 and replaced an older one dating back to 1724. The tower stands at 75 meters high and features a needle spire on four octagonal pinnacles. It has three levels. The interior is topped by cross-rib vaults, with an inner height of the vaults reaching 18.9 meters.

In front of the church, a Holy Heart statue from 1926 stands. Additionally, the church has undergone various transformations. In 1965, for instance, the original fresco work was overpainted and the church remained white until 1982 when, based on old photographs, the same artwork was re-painted roughly as it originally was.
