Building description
The Romanesque hall church has a recessed, transversely rectangular choir tower covered with a hipped roof . The nave has galleries and a massive wooden beam ceiling with a skipper's neck, which are older. The tracery of the ogival windows on the south side has been removed. The keel- arched windows on the north and east sides of the church tower are from a later, late Gothic renovation. In 1889 the apse in the east was rebuilt and refurbished. The furnishings were supplemented by the images of the pulpit and the image of the Ascension above the altar . On the south side of the triumphal arch there are remains of older fittings, a painted pulpit from the 17th century with a wooden frame architecture from the 1st half of the 18th century.
The organ with 10 registers , divided into 2 manuals and pedal , was built in 1878 by Adalbert Förtsch .
