description

The hall church has a very flat polygonal end in the east and a square church tower in the west. The plastered masonry was originally only made of rubble stones . In the mid-1970s the church had to be closed due to dilapidation. In 2007, parts of the south side were secured with sand-lime bricks . The nave was perhaps built as early as the beginning of the 16th century and not until 1557, as an inscription on the northeast window of the choir suggests. It is covered with a hip roof . There are three tracery windows with two lanes in the polygon . The windows on the long sides were renewed in the 18th century. The onion dome of the tower and the lantern sitting on it are more recent. In the interior three side are galleries installed on the long sides they have two floors. Above the portal in the north was the former access to the galleries from the 16th century. The pulpit altar dates from the 18th century. At the pulpit entrance there are four boards from later times with depictions of the evangelists .

Lottery funds and other donations made it possible to install an electrical bell system.

The organ with 21 registers , divided into 2 manuals and pedal , was built around 1800 by an unknown organ builder . The organ front from the late 18th century.
