The village church Großrössen is a hall building built around 1500 with a three-sided east end. The building consists of mixed masonry, for which not only field stones but also lawn iron stone and bricks were used. In the west of the nave , which is provided with a gable roof , a square tower in the form of a ridge was added , which was originally built around 1700 and was renewed in 1856. The ridge turret was provided with a tent roof and a lantern above it . In the north you can see a nineteenth-century porch.

Inside the church there is a flat wooden ceiling and a brick floor. It is equipped with a horseshoe gallery. A patronage box with wooden grilles is attached to the north gallery.
