The present Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) was built between 1835 and 1848, replacing the large St. Lievensmonster Kerk, which was destroyed bij a fire in 1832; only the tower remains today (PiP3).

The design of the church is executed in a neoclassical style with symmetrical facades, impressive pillars, tall windows and a spacious interior.

The Nieuwe Kerk was closed in 1971. The Reformed church was sufficiently served by another building. Nowadays the ‘church’ is used for (music) performances, expositions and other cultural events.
