history

The village church was first mentioned in 1241 . Parts of the current church date from 1653. The church tower dates from 1739, which is also confirmed by the year on the weather vane . The nave , clad with sandstones , is a half-timbered building on the solid foundation walls of the predecessor.

The interior, kept in a simple baroque style , remained essentially unchanged. The pulpit altar dates from the 18th century, the large crucifix from the 16th century. Two bells purchased in 1740 were melted down during World War II . The organ from the 19th century from the company Eifert from Stadtilm is still intact.

A church building association founded in 1997 dissolved again in 2007.
