This church is especially important for its tower, which was built in 1555 by Cornelis Frederiksz. van der Goude, the master
builder of the big Gothic St. Jan in Gouda. Despite the presence at the front of an undeep pointed
niche with traceries the style in which the tower is built is not Gothic
but is closer related to Renaissance. The entrance is clearly inspired by Classical
architecture and was probably added later. The tower was restored in 1954-1956.
