Architecture and history
The church building was built in 1756, presumably according to plans by the builder CH Dehne, in the late Baroque style. A spacious plastered building was created, the rectangular nave of which has short risalit - like transverse wings attached. The outer walls are provided with a two-row window front, in the upper row high and below low arched or rectangular windows. The east wall and the transverse wing fronts are decorated with Tuscan pilasters and parapets . The hipped roofs of the nave and the transverse wing are covered with red tiles. The three-storey square tower has a flat tail hood on which an octagonal tip is attached.
The nave ends with a flat ceiling. A horseshoe gallery is attached to the east and west side , and a mansion's lodge protruding into the nave was set up in the north transverse wing. It is structured by pilasters and decorated with small fruit pendants and the schulenburg family coat of arms. On the opposite side in the south wing, a curved, ornamented pulpit is attached above the sacristy . Its sound cover has hanging tassels and is crowned with a pelican . The altar has a multi-sectioned altar wall into which a painting with the Ascension of Christ is inserted. It is framed by strong pilasters, and above it a segment-shaped vase-decorated gable with the "Eye of God" . Already from the period around 1615 to 1620 comes the marble baptismal font , the Christoph Dehne , a Magdeburg sculptor, is attributed. It is also provided with the Schulenburg coat of arms and bears the initials of the founder. The organ with its five-part prospectus was designed by Christoph Treutmann the Elder from Magdeburg. Built in 1795. It was rebuilt and restored in 1890 and 1994. The oldest part of the church is the bronze bell cast by Heinrich Borstelmann from Magdeburg in 1598 . Both inside in the north transverse wing and outside on the north wall of the choir there are two so-called pastor's tombstones from the years 1750 and 1814. The Tucheimer war memorial also stands on the church grounds.
