History and architecture
The stately church was built as a plastered quarry stone building with corner blocks in the first half of the 15th century. It is an almost square one-pillar room with high pointed arch windows and a high west tower with an octagonal top, which is dated 1598 and ends with a Baroque dome and lantern from the 18th century. A retracted, just closed choir with arched windows adjoins to the east, to the south is the sacristy with a subsequent eastward expansion as a burial chapel for those von Salza from 1606. In the west, the church is through a pointed arch portal with profiled garments and the relief of a Christ's head from 1475 developed; a late Gothic door from around 1500 is located on the south side.
The nave with a ribbed vault over a central round pillar is equipped with two-storey galleries on heavy baroque balusters from the end of the 17th century, the upper gallery on the west side is arched forward. The two-bay choir with net vaults is connected to the nave by a pointed triumphal arch . The ribs end on head consoles similar to those in the south aisle of St. Peter's Church in Görlitz .
On the north side of the choir there is a box with a prospect from the early 18th century. On the south side, a pointed arched passage at room height leads to an extension with two square yokes, the western one was subsequently set up as a sacristy.
Furnishing
The main piece of equipment is a baroque altar from 1723. In the predella it shows a colored relief of the Last Supper and a high, wooden column structure with a blown gable as well as a central depiction of the crucified with Mary Magdalene , flanked by Moses and Aaron . Above that, next to the eye of God, Peter and Paul are depicted.
The richly crafted chalice-shaped pulpit from 1723 is decorated with putti and bands of clouds. The corresponding sound cover shows Christ with the victory flag. The baptism is also richly decorated with putti and floral decorations and shows four reliefs on the cupa depicting Christ's childhood. The organ is a work by Schlag from 1908 in the case of the previous organ from 1800.
In the grave chapel of those von Salza several figural grave monuments are placed; underneath on the north wall Friedrich von Salza in armor († 1609) and on the east wall two tombs depicting the deceased in contemporary clothing with rich architectural framing (left Katharina von Salza († 1586) and right Job von Salza († 1619)) .
