Building description
The church is a late Gothic building from the first quarter of the 16th century, which was later converted to Baroque style . The choir tower and the choir date from the 14th century. The tower with round sound openings stands between the nave and the choir and is crowned by a pyramid roof modified in the 19th century. A bell was cast in 1851. The choir was supported by buttresses that were added later . Painted, late Baroque pilasters structure the facade of the nave. Two simple heads from a Roman medallion grave as well as the epitaphs of Margaretha Geschweindlin (1639) and Johan Reyer (1862) are walled into the outer wall . A two-armed, two-flight staircase with a roof supported by wooden columns leads to the southern fluted arched portal from 1524. The fluted west portal, which is reinforced in the upper part, dates from the same year.
In the three-bay nave, a star-ribbed vault rises on wall templates with circular services . The tower yoke with cross ribbed vault has a star capstone . On the north side a lower segment arch opens the tower yoke to the baptistery room with a groin vault. In the south is the flat-roofed sacristy . The keystone of the ribbed vault in relief shows the head of Christ. The ribs in the polygonal, barrel-shaped arched end of the choir were chopped off. The church interior is illuminated , among other things, by three two-lane tracery windows.
Murals
