In 1687 the first organ was mentioned, which existed until 1738. Between 1738 and 1742 the church got its present appearance. The second organ was built as a new building. The bells for triple peal were purchased in 1764.

In 1852 the third organ - again a new one - was used. In 1892 lightning severely damaged the church . The church tower was rebuilt. An extensive restoration took place in 1934. In 2013 the spire was renovated.
