The gothic hall church , which was made of quarry stone in 1711 and consecrated on October 14, 1714, was open to stone and originally had a recessed choir tower in the west. The nave and the church tower are provided with corner stones . In 1713 the church was rebuilt. It received a three-sided closed choir in the east. The nave is covered with a gable roof. The tower has a hood on which a lantern sits, which is crowned by a tower ball . The ground floor of the church tower is vaulted with a groin . The uniform interior was given three-sided two-story galleries and boxes in the 18th century . The baptismal font is from 1904. Only remains of the original version from the beginning of the 16th century with a keel-arched frieze are preserved. The pulpit altar dates from the 2nd half of the 18th century.
