Construction of the church began in 1831, but was not completed until 1903, when it became the church it is today. It is an iconic, oriented neo-Gothic church with a high crossing tower (height 78 m).
The current St. Gummarus Church replaced a church from the early nineteenth century that had become too small. The church is one of the most important later works in the oeuvre of Dr. P.J.H. Cuypers, although the design was modified and carried out by his son Joseph Cuypers (1861 - 1949) and Jan Stuyt (1868 - 1934). The church was severely damaged by war in 1944. Restoration followed in 1949, the tower was rebuilt in 1960.

The Gummarus Church is a church with an eventful history. Let's go back in time.
The history of this parish, just like the city, spans many centuries. For example, in the first half of the 13th century there was a church in Steenbergen. Before 1460, that old church was replaced by a new one, dedicated to Saint James. This church stood on the site where the Reformed Church now stands.
Although the current Saint Gummarus Church was put into use in 1902, the church has a history that goes back to the late 13th century, when the first church in Steenbergen was founded.
This early church, of which no images are known, was replaced around 1505-1510
by a long Gothic cruciform church dedicated to James the Greater, the Saint James Church.
During the Eighty Years' War, the Saint James Church was disfigured and used as a
storage facility.
