description
The elongated hall church , built from rubble stones , has a three-sided end of the choir . The originally free-standing church tower from the 14th century stands in the south. The nave was rebuilt in 1592/1594. Like the tower, it is provided with corner stones . Inside the church was changed in 1928.
The windows in the tower are framed by curtain arches . Two church bells hang in the tower, cast by Eckhard von Breunswick in 1560 and by Melchior Moeringk in 1603. The tower is covered with an octagonal pointed helmet . The first and second floors of the tower are vaulted with groins . On the ground floor there is an ogival sacraments house . The ship has ogival windows and a surrounding cornice or base cornice .
The interior has circumferential double galleries and is covered with a plastered barrel vault. The church stalls , the pulpit altar and the baptismal font were created around 1810. In the center of the shrine of a winged altar , made around 1516, is the Adoration of the Kings . The predella of a former altarpiece from the 1st half of the 18th century has been preserved. It shows a crucifixion group , the burial of Christ and the Lord's Supper . In 1709 the church received an organ from the organ builder Georg Christoph Stertzing . In 1928 a new organ with 19 stops , divided into 2 manuals and a pedal , was installed by Jehmlich Orgelbau .
