description
building
The church is a plastered brick building with a drawn-in, five-sided east end. The square tower of the building is on the west side. The bell storey and the pointed spire of the church tower date from 1911. The tower was restored in 1992. A barrel-vaulted sacristy extension with a patron's box on the upper floor is located on the north side of the choir.
Interior and equipment
After the fire of 1832, the interior of the church was given a flat plastered ceiling. The three-sided gallery stands on iron supports and, like the painting in the altar wall, dates from the time of the reconstruction. The former wooden altarpiece is located on the north wall in front of the added manorial box. It dates from the first half of the 17th century and shows the Last Supper in the painting and the guards at the empty tomb of Christ in the essay . The baptism, which originates from the late Romanesque and is made of sandstone , has a round dome with a round arch frieze. The organ front of the church is in baroque form.
