architecture

Church building built in brick between 1850 and 1852 with a hexagonal roof turret under a pointed, slated roof spire . Roof covering with Rhineland tiles. The first expansion took place with the construction of a transept in 1920, when the choir , sacristy and gallery were added or built in.

The transept was given a two-lane pointed arch window and a round window in the gable area for exposure. The second extension added two lower, flat-roofed aisles in brick masonry to the building in 1930, which illuminate the church space through two-lane pointed arch windows. The gable facing the street was redesigned and plastered, and the entrances to the side aisles were relocated, with the old central nave receiving a narrow pointed arched window reaching into the gable triangle.
