Building description
The stately hall church, which was largely made of uncut boulders and brick, dates from the transition from Romanesque to Gothic and was built at various times through several renovations. The rectangular choir with a straight end from the 13th century is the oldest part of the church. Vault paintings from the 14th century can be found here. Depicted are apostles , saints and Old and New Testament scenes. The three-aisled nave was built later. The 42 meter high west tower has a roof in the form of a "bishop's cap". A fundamental renovation took place in 1892 according to a design by Gotthilf Ludwig Möckel , in which glass windows were also used.
Since 1998 the church has been fundamentally renovated in several stages with the support of a development association.
