History and architecture

The hall building with hipped roof and canopy roof turret was built in 1712 by Friedrich Sonnemann on the site of a medieval complex. The flat wooden ceiling shows a star-shaped division of fields as well as a tendril painting. The ceiling was exposed and renewed in 1906. In the interior there are four-sided galleries . The pulpit and the altar date from the time the church was built. Remnants of the wall and the gate house with double Gothic pointed arched entrance and baroque hood have been preserved from the former fortified cemetery . In front of the church is a sandstone draw well from 1740 with the original, richly forged impeller.
