history
The Romanesque church from the 12th century has been changed many times. After a renovation on the occasion of the 1000th anniversary in 1957, the decay began. The plan was to turn the church into a granary. Finally, courageous people saved the building.
In 1991 the roof and the church tower were renewed. The medieval bell returned. Since 2001 the church has been used as a place of worship again.
On May 25, 2007, the 1050th anniversary was celebrated with the inauguration.
Bell scratch drawings
The bell, cast around 1430, has rare, art-historically significant carved bell drawings that are honored in a work by the art historian Ingrid Schulze.
