The church, consecrated to Saint Christopher , was built in 1625 and was given its current appearance in 1725. The quarry stone building received a square tower top made of timber framing with a pointed helmet on the west gable. The west gable was also executed in half-timbered construction. A round arched portal is embedded in the west wall, which is flanked by two memorial plaques. The nave is spanned by a simple wooden flat ceiling.
The interior is simply furnished, the most valuable inventory item is the 1000-year-old altar plate . The organ gallery is on the west side.
