history
The lower part of the choir tower is medieval. In 1724 it was increased. At the same time the nave was added. Around 1930 it was extended 3 m to the west. The organ was installed in 1896. When the church was renovated in 1974, the enclosure was removed and the outside of the church was plastered. Another renovation in 1987 focused on the interior of the church with the redesign of the floor and the painting of the walls.
Description and equipment
The church consists of the nave and the choir tower with a Welscher hood in the east. It has an old wooden pulpit . The gallery , which takes up the entire western and northern wall, probably dates from the same time as the pulpit. The baptismal font bears the year 1600. In the basement of the tower ( choir ) there is a former sacrament niche on the left . The altar is decorated with a gold cross. It replaced the current cross on the altar.
