description

An aisle church was built after a village fire using the preserved parts of the choir tower in 1634, but today's half-timbered church with two rows of windows one above the other and a slate-covered gable roof was only built in 1856. Only the two stone floors of the choir tower remained. He received another eight-sided storey made of timber framing, which was covered with a hood , which is crowned by an open lantern . In 1965 the interior of the choir was redesigned. The interior of the nave , which is half-open towards the roof, has single-storey galleries . The church furnishings include a baptismal font from 1657 decorated with a coat of arms .
