history
The church was built from 1892 to 1893 according to the plans of the architect Joseph Cades , but not to his satisfaction. On the one hand, the nave was built much shorter than he had planned for financial reasons. On the other hand, the altar was not oriented to the east as usual, that is, "easted". The latter was due to the unsuitable building site. The architectural style is described as a mixture of Romanesque and Gothic .
The consecration of the church took place on September 26 1,893th
In 1912 it was "extended by three yokes to the west" and renovated in 2015. It also received a new organ , which was consecrated on June 7, 2015.
