description

The small hall church made of unplastered quarry stones has a three-sided polygonal end in the east and a slate-covered roof tower that supports a pointed tent roof . It was created in 1629 based on a house inscription inside. The designation 1776 on the west side refers to a renovation in which the windows and the roof were changed. On the long sides and on the polygon there are profiled ogival windows. The nave is covered with a half-hip roof. The round-arched portal in the south has bulging fighters and simple geometric ornaments on the garment . The interior of the nave has three-sided galleries . The church furnishings are simple except for the pulpit altar .

The organ with 8 registers , divided into a manual and a pedal , was built in 1867 by Adalbert Förtsch , rebuilt in 1950 by Gerhard Kirchner and expanded in 2005 by Organ Builders Schönefeld .
