description

The first church was destroyed in 1634. The hall church , built in 1681/82, is a slated half-timbered church that looks like a two-storey residential building. She wears a hipped roof from which a six-sided roof skylights with hood rises. The interior with its single-storey gallery is spanned by a profiled wooden beam ceiling. The polygonal basket of the pulpit in the southeast corner, according to the inscription from 1684, has twisted columns . The evangelists as well as Peter and Christ stand in the shell-shaped niches in the fields of its parapets . The baptismal angel is also from 1684. The baroque organ above the altar on the east gallery was built in 1770 by Johann Ernst Döring .
