A retracted west tower with a simple ogival portal was built around 1300 and completed at the beginning of the 18th century with a half-timbered tower with an octagonal top and a pyramid helmet. Around the same time, a vestibule was added to the south and the windows were changed to be arched. Only the east windows are still in the shape of the construction time. The east gable with pinnacles made of brick dates from the second half of the 19th century.
