history
Not much is known about the history of the sacred building . It was built in the 14th century and was rebuilt in a neo-Gothic style in 1860 .
architecture
The hall church was built from field stones . These are not hewn and hardly layered except for the lowest layer. The stones were only hewn at the corners of the building. The gaps are filled with granite chips. The upper third of the nave has been made of reddish brick since the renovation work in the 19th century . On the north and south side there are three pointed arch windows , which are decorated with a triple stepped wall - also made of masonry. The same shape can also be found on the east side, but white panels replace the glass panes and form tracery windows with nuns' heads . Above this in the gable there is a wheel window and a much smaller, beehive-shaped window. The viewer will also find this structure on the western gable. Underneath is an ogival gate, which is decorated with a triangular cornice . The builders added another ornament to the building with a frieze on the eaves . The simple gable roof is covered with beaver tail . A bell cage extends on the western gable, but in 2016 there was no bell in it. Like the eastern gable, it ends with a cross.
Furnishing
The wooden pulpit dates from around 1700 and shows Jesus Christ and the evangelists .
