Architecture and history
The hall church is of Romanesque origin, but was remodeled in the Baroque . On the west side of the elongated nave is the church tower with a square floor plan. The north and south walls of the nave are preserved from the 12th century. The original Romanesque openings that were later walled up can still be seen in the walls.
The church was destroyed during the Thirty Years War and then rebuilt in 1655 and expanded to the east around 1750. On the north side of the church there is a clearly visible construction seam in the wall that goes back to the expansion. During this period, the church also got its large rectangular windows. In addition, an octagonal half-timbered upper floor with a squat point was added to the tower.
From 1996 to 2000 the church was repaired.
The inside of the church is spanned by a wooden barrel ceiling. The late baroque interior is simple and dates from the second half of the 18th century. There is an altar wall with side passages. The pulpit is polygonal . The altar painting was created around 1960 by H. Zatzka and depicts the Last Supper in an expressive style. There is a horseshoe gallery in the nave .
In the basement of the tower there is a double tombstone from 1682 for Christoff Michaelsen and Bertha Preger. A figurative pastor's tombstone for Pastor Michael Mirus, who died in 1618, is on the northern outer wall.
