The Munsterkerk is the most important example of Late Romanesque architecture in the Netherlands. It's the only surviving part of an abbey, the rest of which was demolished in 1924. The church was restored by architect P.J.H. Cuypers between 1863 and 1890; during this restoration the frontal towers were added while a Baroque tower was removed and the originally octagonal eastern towers were replaced by square ones.

In 1992 the church was damaged by an earthquake which destroyed the two eastern towers, which were rebuilt since.

The church is a Rijksmonument, and is part of the Top 100 Dutch heritage sites.
