In 1539 embankment of the [[polder]] ''Het Westmaas Nieuwland'' was started. The lords reserved a part of the nieuw land for the new to found village ''Claeswaal''. The first buildings were built along the Voorstraat. At the end of this street, a church was built in 1566. Originally, it was built as a Catholic church, but the pastor of [[Strijen]] didn't want to come to the village as he considered the distance as too far. The community found a minister who was willing to hold the services, and therefore the services were of a Protestant nature.
