The church was built in the years 1857/1858 on the initiative of the pastor Otto Gerhard Heldring. Heldring obtained permission from the reformed synod for the foundation of the church in 1853. The foundation stone for the church was laid on August 29, 1857 by Heldring's daughter, Louise Henriëtte. The white-plastered hall church has a gable roof. The facade tower on the southwest side is crowned with a copper-covered spire. At the top is a cross with a weather vane.
