description
The hall church was built by Conrad Wilhelm Hase in 1899 in a neo-Gothic style . The nave with six axes was built from natural stone masonry . It is divided into three naves . The medieval church tower made of quarry stones in the west was retained. Its ground floor , which is covered with a cross vault, dates from the 13th century, the upper parts are late medieval. The top floor has ogival profiled sound arcades . The octagonal lantern with the tower clock was not put on until 1859. Wooden cross pillars with bizarrely profiled fighters carry the galleries and support the wooden barrel vault above the central nave . From the neo-Gothic church furnishings , the pulpit, the window glazing and the church stalls have been preserved, as well as the altar , in which a late Gothic crescent moon Madonna and the figure of St. Martin from the beginning of the 16th century are incorporated. On the baptismal font from the previous church, dated 1601, are depictions of apostles , angel heads and evangelist symbols . Five epitaphs from the end of the 17th century are walled into the outer wall .
