The reformed
church, originally dedicated to St. Odulphus and nowadays still named after this
saint, is an aisleless church with a
tower and a nave both built in ca. 1400. The tower, which is similar in
style to that of nearby Biggekerke, is supported by heavy buttresses on its
front corners. The oblique position of the tower was caused by sagging during
its construction. Originally,the church had a side-aisle on its south side.
After damage to the church in 1572-1574, the side-aisled was joined to the
lowered nave and covered by a single roof. The choir was demolished.
