history

The core of the church is a Romanesque choir tower church with a retracted semicircular apse . In the Middle Ages, it was a branch church of the parish church of Treben near Dehlitz , in which the neighboring village of Lösau was also a parish. In 1662 the nave was fundamentally rebuilt, it was probably increased during this time. Further structural changes were made in 1835. The building is in a desolate condition.
