description

The neo-Gothic hall church with three naves was built in 1840–1845 in place of a predecessor. A roof tower has risen from the gable roof of the nave since 1853 , and is covered with a pointed helmet on which a tower ball sits. In 1886 an extension was built to the east with a retracted choir closed on three sides and a sacristy to the southeast. The church was renovated in 1906 and 1965–1967, some of the church furnishings were removed.

The interior was decorated with stucco in 1925/1926 . The ceiling painting on the coffered , stuccoed flat ceiling was created in 1928 by Norbert Krohmer . The parapet of the gallery in the west is decorated. The choir is spanned with a ribbed vault on consoles , angels and the Lamb of God are depicted in the stucco of the fields . The winged altar from 1901 is neo-Gothic. Its structure comes from Heinrich Schweppenstede from Wiedenbrück, a relief by Anton Mormann . The baptismal font is dated 1707. Figures of Mary and John stand at the entrance to a crucifixion group that was created around 1500. The colored windows in the nave with figurative representations were created by Franz Xaver Zettler in 1904–1906 , the stations of the cross are by Willy Albermann from Cologne. The organ with 18 registers , divided into 2 manuals and pedal , was built in 1920 by Anton Feith and restored by Karl Brode & Sohn.
