church

The Protestant church was built in the second quarter of the 13th century, at the time of the late Romanesque , which is indicated by the proportions of the church. It is a hall building with a recessed, almost square choir and a low apse . The field stone masonry is regular and of high quality. There are remains of the original high windows, and the priest's door on the south side of the choir is walled up. The gables have steps. A tower was built from 1577, it was integrated into the ship's roof. A weather vane that no longer existed showed the year 1579, probably the end of the construction work. After the Thirty Years War the church was repaired. In 1714, as part of repairs and alterations, the windows were enlarged and an altar was erected. In 1771 the neo-Gothic tower and the roof were rebuilt.

In order to create more seats, the tower was torn down during the last major renovation from 1882 to 1883 and this area was incorporated into the ship. A new tower was built to the west of the extended nave. The length of the church is now 25 meters. There was an accident during the construction of the tower, the almost completed tower collapsed on June 23, 1882, six people died in this collapse. The tower is made of field stones and bricks, the reveals are made of bricks on the first floor, the wall edges are also on the second floor, and the third floor is made entirely of bricks. On the third floor there is an octagonal slate-covered pointed helmet. The four corners of the tower are occupied by corner towers at the height of the pointed helmet.

Inside there is a triumphal arch with a pointed arch and a rounded apse arch. In 1998 the interior of the church was repainted. The pulpit altar dates from 1714 to 1716. In the gable there is a ray glory with God's eye, on the side there are flower hangings. The life-size wooden baroque baptismal angel dates from 1713. The baptismal font includes a baptismal bowl from 1694. The organ was created by GA Friedrich from Wittenberg in 1883. The three-part organ front shows neo-Gothic shapes. One oil painting depicts Christ in Capernaum and another depicts the adoration of the child. There is also a portrait of Pastor Siegmund Wahn in the church. A chest made from a tree probably dates from the late Middle Ages. It is behind the altar.
