Building description
The church is a Gothic building with a three-bay nave and saddle roof, a choir with a four-sixth of a quarter, a northern chapel extension from 1932 and a presumably baroque vestibule. The nave is supported on the south side by mighty, stepped buttresses . The five-story tower is crowned by a pointed gable helmet. Benedikt Fiering cast a bell in 1584.
A star-ribbed vault rises above the nave over strong pillars with semicircular templates . The quadrupeds in the vaulted fields were painted with half-length saints at the end of the 15th century. The late Gothic gallery over a pressed pointed arch in the west yoke was provided with a swinging balustrade in the 18th century. Original tracery has been preserved in the two high lancet windows on the south wall of the nave . A deep triumphal arch connects the nave with the choir. The rib vault in the end of the choir dates from the 14th century, the groin vault in the choir bay from the Baroque. The mural in the choir from the second quarter of the 19th century shows the parable of the prodigal son .
