Building
The substance of the Romanesque church - originally an early choir tower church - has largely been preserved. The nave got its basic shape in the 16th century. Its windows and doors are from different times. The year 1592 is on the front door. The choir has a flat east wall and three very narrow early Gothic windows. A stone cross crowns the gable end.
The striking church tower is a landmark of the community. The double sound openings have been preserved on the upper floor. The Gothic pointed helmet rises above the floor of the church during the renovation in the 16th century .
Interior
On the stone altar is a baroque altar cross with a Gothic body. A valuable winged altar , probably carved at the end of the 15th century by the master of the Großrudestedter Altar, focuses on St. Anne . The basket of a pulpit altar from the 19th century is still preserved and attached to the southern triumphal arch pillar. The font comes from the late medieval period.
The organ from the Sauer company dates from the 1930s. It was renovated in 1999.
The bell from corner Hardt Kuchler depends since 1580 in the tower. In 1742 the big bell was added, which had to be cast in 1964. In 2010 the bell was electrified.
