The church was built in the neo-Gothic style between 1879 and 1884 and was consecrated to Saint Bartholomew and Saint Sebastian on June 25, 1884 .
In the left aisle of the church there is a late Gothic Pietà from 1486.
The mighty church tower is almost 40 m high. There are four bells hanging in the bell chamber, two of which date from 1402 and 1417, and the other two from 1955.
Organ system
A special feature of the church are the two organs that can be played together.
Gallery organ
In 1998/1999 the organ building workshop Karl Göckel (Mühlhausen-Rettigheim) built an organ with 21 stops on two manuals and a pedal . The instrument was arranged and voiced in the style of the choir organs by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll in French cathedrals .

Transept forgel
In 2009 the Krahwinkel organ building company installed a used organ in the right transept of St. Bartholomew. The instrument with a symphonic organ was built in 1904 by the organ builder Nelson (Great Britain) for the United Reform Church in Crook near Durham with 13 registers and was for sale after the church closed.
The organ building company Krawinkel restored and expanded the instrument using original English pipes from the time the organ was built to initially 27 registers, divided into two manual works and pedal. In 2009 the Göckel organ on the gallery was made playable from the Nelson / Krawinkel organ. In 2011 and 2012 the instrument was expanded to include additional registers. In 2016, the instrument was expanded to include an organ (solo organ) and the console was designed with four manuals. In 2017 a tuba 8 '(300 mm Ws.) Was installed, which can be coupled to any manual and the pedal. Today the instrument has 43 sounding stops on three manuals and a pedal.
