The church was built in two closely successive phases. During the second phase – the three western bays – tuff stones from the previous church were also used. A low, freestanding tower was erected on the north side. The basalt baptismal font from the 11th century, which still exists today, came from the previous church. This is the oldest baptismal font in the province! In 1652, a new 50-metre-high tower was completed on the west side, adjoining the church. The bell dating from 1390 came from the old tower, which was demolished at that time. In 1752, the small bell at the top was replaced.

The layout of the church interior – two blocks of pews with a central aisle dating from 1812 – is characteristic of the Protestant period. The pulpit is situated against the south wall, and the chancel is arranged as a communion area. The organ builder N.A. Lohman constructed the 28-stop organ between 1815 and 1817, commissioned by Goosen Geurt Alberda, Lord of Dijksterhuis. All the woodcarving on the furniture and the organ was carried out by father and son Walles.
