On Hodenpijl was a parish church built in 1840 and dedicated to James the Greater. The church was built according to a neoclassical design by the Hague architect Arend Roodenburg. The accompanying rectory 'de Herdershof' was built in 1872, but the accompanying house chapel is older. This was built in 1720 to replace a church that stood on the other side of the canal. In 1963 the last Holy Mass was celebrated in the church building after 120 years.

Op Hodenpijl combines healthy and delicious food, nature, culture, art, health, and well-being in four buildings and two gardens.

Op Hodenpijl is a restaurant, a cultural church, a wedding and funeral venue, a health and well-being center, a meeting place, and a Living Country Estate. The former church hosts intimate concerts, lectures, seminars, weddings, and funerals. The founders of the current Op Hodenpijl are Dirk and Tilly Post, who purchased and restored the former church and then the warehouse in 2004. Op Hodenpijl opened its doors in 2007.

The name "Op Hodenpijl" has been the popular place designation for generations.

In the 13th century, the Hodenpijl family attached its name to a castle located in the Hodenpijl Polder (now Klaas Engelbrechtspolder). The castle was destroyed in 1351 during the Hook and Cod Wars.

Since 1657, there had been a clandestine church on Hodenpijl, on the "narrow side" of the Kerkpolder. Father Gerardus Schade was the first priest to settle here after the Reformation. In this church, the Delft painter Johannes Vermeer married Catharina Bolnes in April 1653.
