St Augustine's Roman Catholic Church was dedicated in 1840. It was the first newly built Roman Catholic church in Utrecht after the Reformation. The building was designed by K.G. Zocher. Its style is Classic Revival, which was favoured by the Department of Waterways. At that time the Department was officially responsible for the construction and architecture of newly built churches.

The interior of St Augustine's shows a large undivided Neo-Baroque space, a richly stuccoed barrel vault and classical capitals on top of columns and pilasters.

The paintings around on the walls, the fourteen Stations of the Cross, probably date from 1865.
