The roof structure is covered with gray pans and supported on a wooden structure called a knagge. In the northwest, above the entrance door, which dates from the construction period, the roof protrudes far out.

In the small churchyard you can see the remains of a quarry stone wall and some old tombstones from the 19th century. A cannon ball in the outer wall commemorates the battle of Minden in 1759.

There is a service in the chapel every 14 days.
