It was built in the period from the beginning of August to the beginning of December 1955 by contractor Bontebal from Zoetermeer. The church was consecrated on December 20, 1955. In 2006, the building was placed on the list of municipal monuments by the municipality of Zoetermeer.

De Hoop

De Hoop is a round stone windmill from 1897 in Zoetermeer, South Holland. De Hoop was built to replace an earlier "wind and steam flour mill, also a hulling mill" by Bastiaan Hoogenboezem on the same spot, which burned down in the early morning of January 16, 1897. Presumably this was an octagonal wooden mill. In 1936 the work in progress was demolished from the mill and since then De Hoop has only been used as a grain silo. After a major restoration that lasted from 1983 to 1986, the mill was ready to grind again. Since then, grain has been milled weekly in a traditional way. On Saturdays, the mill shop is open and all kinds of baking supplies are sold. Most of these were produced in the mill.
