Construction of the church building began around 1392. Around 1400, the presbytery with an adjacent rectangular hall church was built. The first bell, the St. John's bell, is hung in the tower in 1460. In 1521, the construction of the two cross choirs, the two lower aisles on either side of the nave, and the space north of the tower, the current Lady Chapel, was completed. In 1879, the baptistery south of the tower was built. In the years 1928 and 1929, construction of the two new side aisles adjacent to the two transepts is underway.
In 1944, the new south aisle on Church Street was destroyed during the crusade. It was rebuilt in a completely different style in 1951.

In 1944, the new south aisle on Church Street was destroyed during the crusade. It was rebuilt in a completely different style in 1951.

The cemetery around the church (accessible through the left gate next to the church entrance), was closed in 1955. On the northern part, adjacent to the Doctor van Kesselstraat, is the monument "Future" and the columbarium by artist Olav Koreman from Breda. It was donated by parishioners in 1994 to commemorate the parish's 600th anniversary and erected in 1995. The approximately six-meter-high monument consists of a square base topped by a ring, which in turn forms the base. The vertical lines are associated with the Gothic style of the church. A spiral runs in this structure, as an uplifting and hopeful symbol. In the corner between north transept and side aisle, a small monument was unveiled on November 7, 2004, commemorating the unbaptized children who died. Further along this cemetery section is the burial vault founded in 1893 of the noble Verheijen family, who occupied the Loon Castle from 1753 to 1984.
