The hall church has a recessed, almost square choir tower from the late Gothic period. The onion dome of the tower was not erected until 1816. The iron bell was cast by Schilling & Lattermann in 1955 . The nave was rebuilt in the round arch style in 1824/25 .

The organ with twelve registers , divided into two manuals and a pedal , was built by Adam Eifert around 1880 .
