The Church Building

1. The church was taken into use in 1966 by architect Teus van Hoogevest. It concerns a hall church in modernist style.
2. The main material is brick and the building has a pointed entrance front, decorated with a simple cross. Characteristic are also some arched wall surfaces.
3. The annexed tower is executed in open concrete and contains two bells.

The building was taken out of service in 1984. A funeral center moved into the building, while the appearance of the church remained well preserved.

In 2019, the funeral center occupied a new build on the adjacent plot. In 2020, work began to renovate the former church, resulting in the realization of four apartments.
