architecture
The church has its origins at the beginning of the 13th century, according to other sources as early as the end of the 12th century. Of this late Romanesque building, however, only the west transverse tower to the west of the nave has been preserved. The tower has sound holes in arch shape and is of a gabled roof completed. The west wall and the corner walls were repaired in the 19th century.
The current nave was not built until 1867, but its style is based on the Romanesque. The nave is cruciform and is closed in the east by a semicircular, recessed apse . In the south wall remains of the original nave, including a walled up round arch portal, are preserved.
Inside the church there is a flat wooden beam ceiling, which is decorated with stencil paintings. Galleries are set up in the west and in the arms of the cross.
