description
The hall church , whose nave is largely a result of the reconstruction between 1688 and 1691, has a stone-faced church tower in the north, which was built around 1500. The church was renovated in the 19th century and in 1987. The plaster , with a west hipped , slate-roofed gable roof covered nave was given in the 19th century in southern buttresses . The ground floor of the tower has a groin vault , a piscina has been preserved in the northern area . In the tower , which is covered with a pointed helmet , there are three bronze bells , the one cast by Hermann König in 1601 and two cast by the Bachert bell foundry in 2010 .
The central part of the nave is covered with a wooden barrel vault, and on the side of the single-storey gallery there is a flat ceiling . Scenes from the life of Christ are painted in the fields of the parapets . The pulpit altar dates from 1879, a cup-shaped baptismal font from the mid-16th century. A tombstone from 1543 for Johann von Riedesel in the northeast corner has a relief of the deceased in armor. On the south wall there is a similar tombstone from 1578 and for a child's grave from 1580. On the east side of the church there is a hereditary burial from the 19th century for the Liège and Sperber family.
The organ with 19 stops , divided into 2 manuals and a pedal , was built in 1878 by Adam Eifert .
