The Niederseefelder Straße , coming from the north, leads south through the village. The church stands to the west of the on a slightly raised property. This is now surrounded by residential buildings, which are enclosed with fences and walls made of reddish bricks . The church cemetery can be entered through an ogival portal. On the west side a psalm greets the visitors: “Go / to the Lord's door / ren with thanks to his / for his / her courts with praise” ( Ps 100 EU ), while on the east side you can read: “The / Lord bless / entrance and exit ”( Ps 121 EU ).
history
The building was originally built as a field stone hall around 1300. The Dehio manual suggests that it could have been renewed in the late Middle Ages. In the 15th century, craftsmen built the west tower , which was modified in the 18th and 19th centuries. During the work, the upper floor of the tower and the tower edges were renewed with bricks around 1880 . Presumably the windows were enlarged in the 18th century.
Building description
The building was essentially made of field stones that were not hewn in layers and only partially layered. Reddish brick was used for repair and renovation work. The choir is straight and has not moved in. Originally three ogival windows were built into the east wall. The middle one was clogged with stone chippings at an indefinite time, while the two outer openings were enlarged in the shape of an arch. In the lower area the remains of a previously plastered bottle can be seen ; reddish brick was used above. In the gable there is a small and high rectangular window, which should also not come from the construction period.
The nave has a rectangular floor plan. On the north side there are two large arched windows with plastered windows. There are three similar windows on the south side. In between there is an ogival gate, the parish portal and the priest gate . The ship has a simple gable roof .
This is followed by the rectangular church tower to the west . It takes up the full width of the ship and consists of field stones in the lower area. On its south side there is a pointed arched portal, the soffit of which was partly made of lawn iron stone . In the middle floor , extensive masonry repair work can be seen that extends into the bell floor. There are two small, arched sound arcades on the north and south sides . On the west side there are two paired, coupled sound arcades, while on the east side the southern opening is blocked. Above it is a hipped roof that is positioned horizontally and ends with a tower ball and weather vane .
Furnishing
The pulpit altar was built at the end of the 19th century. However, craftsmen used parts that are older, including a two-story column structure from the early 17th century. The fifth dates from the 17th century. The other church furnishings come from the 19th century, a pastor's chair at the rise of the pulpit from around 1800.
A memorial to the west of the fence commemorates those who died in the First World War.
