History and architecture
The stately stone block building from the middle of the 13th century (1255 according to dendrochronological dating) has a recessed choir and a square west tower. Pointed arch portals with stepped walls open up the building in the west and south.
After a fire in 1911, the late Gothic tower tower was renewed in 1914. There is a chessboard stone in the east gable .
The 18th century sacristy is attached to the north choir wall, and the sacristy door has wrought iron fittings. Inside the building is flat-roofed and characterized by a pointed triumphal arch. The west gallery and the organ case were created in 1880.
Furnishing
The top of the high altar combines a carved retable from around 1500 with a predella and an altar excerpt from 1612. In the center a crowned Madonna can be seen in a halo under an ornate tracery canopy, the lily scepter was lost; to the side, one above the other, Anna the third and Saint Barbara as well as Peter and John the Baptist are arranged; In the originally movable side wings, six apostles can be seen under tracery canopies in two registers one above the other. In the predella, which is decorated with scrollwork and fittings , there is a painted representation of the Last Supper; the extract is designed as an aedicule with the dove of the Holy Spirit and a crowning crucifix. The cast iron altar crucifix dates from the first half of the 19th century. A brass baptismal font dates from 1684.
The organ is a work by Friedrich Kienscherf from 1860 with 16 stops on two manuals and a pedal . In 1917 the prospect pipes had to be handed in for war purposes. In the post-war years 1945/46 numerous pipes were lost due to theft, after which the first manual was repaired by Karl Gerbig. In 1991 the entire organ (including the II. Manual) was repaired by Eberswalde Orgelbau.
