The church, originally dedicated to Saint Martin, was rebuilt in Gothic style between 1669 and 1672 on the foundations of the predecessor, which was demolished due to dilapidation. The tower was built in yellow and red brick in the 16th century and has round-arched niches. In the south wall of the church there is a memorial stone about the laying of the foundation stone for the reconstruction by Isabella Susanna thoe Schwartzenberg and Hohenlansberg in 1669. She was the daughter of Georg Wolfgang baron thoe Schwartzenberg and Hohenlansberg who lived at the Groot Terhorne castle and took a large part of the construction costs for his account.
The church has a beautiful 17th century interior including a pulpit from 1673, baptismal gate and text boards and an 18th century gentlemen's pew. In the floor are a large tombstone for Van Aysma (1623) and several 18th century tombstones.
