Named after the neighbouring Krijtberg or Sint Franciscus Xavieruskerk on the Singel. The church dates from 1883 and took the place of the former secret church in the Crijtberg house, which served the Jesuits.

Unlike elsewhere in the city, there is a former lock just a stone’s throw away , also called the Leliesluis (Lely Sluys). The contours of that lock are still visible in the Leliegracht.
