View of the organ

The quarry stone church was built in the years 1923–25 according to plans by Hans (1872–1952) and Christoph Rummel (1881–1961). It consists of a baroque hall with a semicircular choir and a square west tower. The rectory connects to the west .

Furnishing

Inside, a cove ceiling crowns the hall. A remarkable depiction of the Holy Trinity was acquired in 1925 by Pastor Sand (1919–1929) from private ownership. It is assigned to the circle of Lucas Cranach the Elder .

In the years 1925 to 1932 Otto Linnemann created the high windows of the nave in the so-called Beuron style .
