History and architecture

Originally the church was dedicated to St. Servatius . The massive-looking late Romanesque west tower was preserved as the remains of a small Westphalian basilica, which burned down in 1766; it is crowned with a baroque hood. The simple one-nave rectangular building was built in 1768 (name). Since 1950 there has been a memorial in the tower for the victims of the two world wars, the glass window shows the Archangel Michael fighting against the forces of darkness. The tower room in the walk-in bell tower has housed historical furnishings since 2005. The church is a rectangular three-axis building in the Bergisch Baroque style. Above the side portal it is marked with 1768; the barrel vault is made of wood. The equipment from the time it was built was newly 1948-1950 adopted . During the renovation work in 2004, the glass windows on the east side, which had been covered for 50 years, were uncovered, and fragments of historical paintings were uncovered on the west wall.
