history

Bells Bells
Bells
Bells

Its construction from hewn granite blocks suggests its origin in the second half of the 13th century. The towerless hall construction was considerably destroyed during the Thirty Years War and rebuilt in later years. The alterations are baroque . Today the stone masonry of the church and churchyard wall is in great need of repair.

It is not known whether the church had a tower made of stone or wood, but there is a carefully worked pointed arch portal on the west side , which was subsequently walled up. In the churchyard there is a wooden bell that carries the two bells . It was completely repaired after an arson attack a few years ago. The listed bells survived the metal collection in the Hamburg bell cemetery unscathed during World War II ; a third bell is said to have existed once, but nothing is known about its whereabouts. The older bell dates from the 14th to 15th centuries, the younger one from the 16th century.

The church uses the space under the organ gallery as a community room .
