The reformed church, or Petruskerk, is a late-Gothic church from the 15th century and had at least two predecessors, built on the location of the Roman castellum. The tower is older and dates from ca. 1375. An ambulatory was added to the choir in ca. 1500.

The Lutheran church is a three-aisled building from 1646. The Lutheran community of Woerden is the oldest in the entire country and dates back to 1520. In 1580 the church was officially legalized and was allowed to exist next to the official Calvinist reformed church. For a while the Lutherans met in a house, until this church was built. Although often called a hidden church its purpose is recognizable from the outside.
