history
The building was built around 1730. After the battle of Kunersdorf in the Seven Years War , the church was almost completely destroyed and rebuilt in 1767. Around 1780 a porch was added in the west. In 1992/1993 the interior of the building was restored. Part of the facade was renovated in 2008.
Building description
The building was built from half-timbering . The choir is straight and has not moved in. On the east side are two tall rectangular windows, above them in the middle a smaller, also tall rectangular window.
The nave has a rectangular floor plan. On the north and south sides there are also two large, high-angle windows. On the west wall there is a small, indented extension with a rectangular floor plan. There is a gate on the south side through which the building can be entered. To the west of this is a small window. Two more windows are on the west side.
The church tower rises above the ship . It has a polygonal substructure and on each of the four sides facing the cardinal points a high rectangular sound arcade . Above it rises a broken pointed helmet , which ends with a tower ball and weather vane . The ship has a gable roof that is sloped to the east .
Furnishing
The church furnishings essentially come from the time the church was built. The wooden pulpit altar was built at the end of the 18th century, as was the horseshoe gallery . There is an organ in the western area that Carl Arendt Züllichau created in 1885. The instrument was restored by Christian Scheffler in 1996 and has a manual with five registers .
To the south and there outside the enclosure, a memorial commemorates those who died in the world wars.
