history

The church, which was consecrated to Saint Martin of Tours until the Reformation began , dates back to 1348. The oldest part is in the tuff listed Gothic closed on three sides chorus. The originally three-aisled nave was damaged in the course of the hook-and-cod war in 1490 and then rebuilt in a simplified manner. Around 1500 the tower was completely rebuilt in late Gothic forms. It has been vacant since 1734 when the nave was rebuilt and reduced in size. A transept was added in 1903, which was enlarged in 1924.
