According to the national monument register:
"Introduction

Baarhuisje, located at the back left of the Roman Catholic cemetery on the Drieklinken, which was laid out in 1871. The cemetery, which is of ensemble value for the object, was laid out according to a design by H.J. van den Brink. The construction is not protected. The chapel located on the main axis is protected separately. The baarhuisje is built in a late neo-Gothic style and dates from the period 1910-1920.

Description
The BAARHUISJE is built on a rectangular floor plan in brick and in cross bonding, has one storey under a saddle roof covered with slates and mesh cover between spout gables with shoulder pieces. At the front is a masonry crown. The building has a chamfered plinth all around.

The front or north facade has an arched wooden door in the middle with richly ornamented wrought iron fittings. The facade also contains decorative anchors, a blind niche on either side of the door and four blind niches in the spout on either side of a narrow window, which is placed in an arched saving field.

The right and left side walls are identical and each contain two narrow openings the width of two end stones. They are contained in curved savings fields.

The rear facade is identical to the front facade, with the exception of the door, which is missing in this facade.

The building has various brick decorations, such as a mouse tooth frame all around under the window edge, a hollow frame under the wooden gutter of the side walls. The gable ends contain a water list at the same height.

Valuation
The baarhuisje is of cultural-historical significance as an expression of a religious function, of architectural-historical value as an example of a building type and style, and of ensemble value as part of the Roman Catholic cemetery in Driebergen."
