description
When it was built, the chapel formed the north-western flank of the village, which was grouped around a crossroads . A simple hall building was created on a rectangular floor plan , which ends at the top with a gable roof . A structure of brick framework forms the outer walls. On the west side there is a square ridge turret with a tent roof and cross. A small sacristy is built on the east side . The chapel is accessed from the western side.
The interior is spanned by a flat wooden beam ceiling. On the west side there is a gallery that carries the organ, on the east side there is a pulpit altar. The furnishings come from the time it was built.
The Gartow parish is suing the chapel community against further exploration of the Gorleben salt dome for the final disposal of nuclear waste.
